There seems to be some disagreement about exact settings for the spark lever, the throttle lever, and the GAV. I added the following to the bottom of "7)" in post #1.

"Apparently, the settings for the spark lever, the throttle lever, and the GAV (Gas Adjustment Valve) vary quite a bit from car to car, and these settings appear to be an "art form," rather than an exact science. Folks tend make strong arguments for the settings that they have found to work for them."

I am open to re-wording if you can come up with something better.
