2V carb specs:
==============
Timing= 6 BTDC
Idle w/ automatic= 500rpm, 700rpm with idle solenoid energized.
Plug= ARF-42
Gap= 0.034 conventional, I would go 0.044 with electronic ignition.
Point gap= .017
Dwell= 26-30

With a 4V carb:
================
Timing= 16BTDC

With a Std tranny:
================
Idle= 500/1000

H.O. engine:
================
Timing= 10BTDC
