Yeah 42psi with vacuum off is good. And initial timing if the engine is new I would set it at the stock setting of 10*

Then keep advancing the timing until it starts to ping, then back it off a few degree's. Most people don't go over 14* advance.

NP. I assume that since you know how to do a cam and top end that you know how to time your car right? Well, if you have any questions let us know. Just be positive that you remove the spout connector.
