Timing of the K-Jet B20F 200 1975

Got a free '75 245. Have fixed a lot of problems just to get it to run, one of which is that the timing is way off.

But what to time it to? I believe this distributor is one of those with vacuum *retard* at idle. If so, should I be checking idle timing with the vacuum disconnected and plugged? And what is the proper spec? All I have is the owner's manual, which calls for 10BTDC, but there's an official-looking sticker placed over that line that says 5BTDC. What's right?

TIA,

Evan
