Why not stick to what the Bentley suggests: for a '71,TDC at idle. 
You're MUCH less likely to screw that up than trying to time to a non-
existant mark at high rpm/  

The 15 deg figure is wrong, and the 30 deg figure requires more 
understanding than you have at this point.

Keep it straightforward and get it running right before you start 
messing around with it again.
