Ive searched all around trying to find timing for my motor ive gotten several different answers. Does anyone know for sure what it should be or where i can find it? Ive seen from 3 to 8 btdc.

Long standing line since 1955 about the chevy V8 is ... 8 and don't be late.

Yes...8* on 87 octane...maybe 1* or 2* less...closer to top dead center... on higher octane.
Total timing might be more important though.
