Q-Jet auto vs. marine adjustments

[psmess]

Does anyone know what the float adjustment is for a Q-Jet on a 260B(8 cyl)Volvo Penta? I am in the process of overhauling the carbureutor and was wondering what the adjustment should be(assume it is different because of decline mounting of engine). Any other tips for this process? Also, the sticker on the air cleaner says 8 BTDC at idle RPM of 600 and then 700. Does this mean the timing is made at 600 in neutral and 700 in gear(under a load)?

.....1/32nd" with stock needle and seat. 1/16th" with larger needle and seat or when raising the fuel pump pressure.
