Default Schebler carb float setting?

Would any of you guys happen to know the float height setting for a Schebler S-3 ? It's on my '29 Chandler.

Has the car been running ? If so, any problems ?

If I don't know/can't find the setting and there are no known running issues, I just start out setting them level.

The car has been sitting for fifty odd years, inside and I did just get it running. I had a heck of a time getting the carb apart to clean it and I'm sure I bent the float arm a bit in the process.

Mitch,
I LOVE your COMMON SENSE APPROACH to questions & problems.
Like, most ALL carbs were designed for the float to be level/horizontal, when full of fuel.
