I am trying to set the timing on my '63 which calls for 8 degree  BTDC.  
I am currently without a timing light and hope someone can  tell me the 
following.  There are 3 marks on the flywheel with the  center one "0".

What Bob says is absolute... no exceptions we are aware  of!
 
8 deg?  Here's a link to the proper   Timing  points

Then as Bob states...  use a test light to  see when  points open   OR
 
Watch for Spark on #1 
 
 
 
 use this handy guide
 
  Align timing mark on Pulley to desired  initial value
 
Loosen dist.
 
Turn KEY  to ON  leave it
 
At the engine
 
Pull #1  plugwire  and  insert   spare  plug/  rod /  finger... to tell you 
if / when the plug  fires.
 
Rotate dist.  CW  as far as possible
 
Now Rotate CCW  slowly.....
 
Stopping when the light  goes out  OR
 
The Spark jumps to ground, or you get shocked [ mild jolt]
 
You are timed!!  tighten dist.  and  restart.
