Unhappy idle speed

Hey ford fans. Anyone out there know what my 68 F250 390 pickup should be idling at?. There is no more stickers anywhere! I am trying to set the timing just right, and fine tune the 670 s. avenger. Am installing a tach now, so i can set the timing. Then idle with in gear, p.b. on etc. Thank You if anyone can help. Guy PS That is rpm idle speed.
