Almost ready to start my 19-year old fresh 2.0. It has carbs and a new 050 distributor (no vacuum diaphragm). Just realized I have no clue as to how to time it and at what rpm. I have it set at TDC with rotor pointed at index mark on distributor body. I am assuming this will allow me to light the fire. Then what? Red mark/3500 rpm with vacuum lines disconnected and plugged doesn't sound right any more!

Thanks. Looking at the Pelican article it mentions "vacuum advance line connected" and refers to a 205A distributor. Is the spec the same at 3200 for an 050 without any vacuum diaphragm?
