The Ford Barn - View Single Post - "B" Distributor timing with an "A" front cover

I understand the A distributor is timed at TDC, and any advance is set via the Left lever. I also read the "B" distributor gives an initial advance of 19* BTC. When using the B distributor with the "A" front cover, what is the initial timing? Is it less 17 * or more 21*.
Needs to be factored as well, I am running a 6.0-1 Snyder head.
