#6 is for 12 degrees
#8 is for 16 degrees
#10 is for 20 degrees

Also, do you have a control module wired (plugged) in to the distributor, or just regular coil? It will make a difference, for if you have a control module, you'll set you initial timing lower than if you have a regular coil.

If regular coil, you might even want to set the timing using a vacuum gauge instead of a timing light.
