Default Ignition timing for 1982

Does anyone know what the ignition timing should be for a 1982 C3? It's not the California model. Should be the basic 200 hp model. My manual says to diconnect the EST bypass wire before setting the timing, but refers me to the emissions decal under the hood for the timing setting. Problem is, the decal is MIA. Any help would be appreciated.
