Steve, Y-Blocks like a little advance. I wouldn't set it at 3°.

With the cam I have in my 318" I also set it with a Vacuum gauge. When I check mine with a light after setting it with a gauge it is ~16° BTDC so don't be surprised if it is advanced a bit.

Not saying yours will be 16°, that's just where my engine likes it.
