I just rebuilt the carb and its great, but now I need the spark plug gap, point gap and distributor timing. I got a distributor by calling Mallory Distributor and they managed to crss match it. ( This was a bg deal!)
 
I have WB 200 Hercs and I found they run best with AC 45 non ressiter plugs set at .030" The dwell angle set to 40-1/2 degrees and the timming set 4 degrees BTDC at 500 RPM's My engines are old and tired but start easy, idle smooth run up to the advertized Max RPM.

Hope this info helps even if they arent the same model as your engines.It should get you in the ball park.
