Default Ignition Timing

Hi All,
I hopefully have a simple question. I have a 1981 4 speed manual. My mechanic is doing some work on it and needs to know the ignition timing. I only have one of those Haines workshop manuals and in there it says for 1981 models for the timing, refer to the specifications label on the inside of the bonnet. Mine has long gone so I have no idea what it is. Nothing much is standard under the bonnet as I have changed the carby (Holley 650 double pumper) and the distributor (MSD).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
George.
