I need a little help here:

I have a '65 122 with a B20B, however it's using the B18 distributor. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I should set the timing?

I read that a B18B is 17˚-19˚ BTDC w/ engine speed at 1500rpm, and a B20B would be 10˚ BTDC with vacuum advance removed to set and engine speed around 600-800rpm.

My distributor does not have vaccum advance. Any help would be appreciated.
