Setting is dependant on individual unit. We have specs up through and including the 1974 model year. If newer than that, won't have specs.

In the absense of actual specs, a good ballpark approach is to check the taper on the idle mixture control screw. The older short, fat taper would be out 1 to 1 1/2 turns. The newer (about 1972, approximately) long, slender taper (used for more precise adjustment for smog emission), would be from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 turns.
