Default Crab Distributor vacuum brake

When you install the crab distributor on the engine and screw in the vacuum brake, how do you tell how far to screw in the top 7/16 screw? into the base lock nut? Is it by feel or is there a calibration ?
Most responses I've seen here say to back off the top screw until the engine pings then adjust it inward a bit
Need to know the starting point
Thanks to any helpful folks on the barn
Pete
