Default 500 EFI timing

We rebuilt a merc 500 EFI and need to know the base timing specs and timing procedure for initial start up.
Thanks for your help

Take the cap off the diag. plug at the rear l/h side of the engine, you need to connect a jumper wire between the
black wire and the black/white wire.

That puts it in base timing mode, 8* is the spec.
