timing retard ... ?
>now that the Camaro is running I need to know where to start with the retard dial (and I don't mean me either 
) .
I have the MSD 6AL with boost timing master .
Isn't there a "general rule of thumb" with the amount of timing to pull with so much boost ?

I believe the maximum amount of timing it will pull is 15*
Set it to 2 and see how it goes and listen / watch for knock.
It will not hurt to have some race gas in it for inital testing just to be on the safe side.
