1962 seahorse 5.5 needle valve

What would be a good starting point for needle valves? Does anyone have good advise? Is there anywhere I can go on web for specific instructions on how to set?

I guess at it when i'm not sure. Usually turn in all the way (not hard) and out two turns and then adjust by ear. you'll here her sing the right tune when you get it right.

The high speed is only 1/2 turn out from seated and the low speed is 1.25 turns out from seated. Those are your starting points.
