there a few things with this vehicle. It is timed off of #8 cylinder. If it is a california emmission then it is TDC no matter if it is a stick or automatic. If it is not a california emission vehicle then if you have a 2210C carb it is 5 degrees TDC and if you have a 2300EG carb it is TDC. there should be a tag or casting on the carb to see which is which.
