For starters, set the primary side float down 1/4" from the roof of the float bowl (flip the bowl upside-down and test the gap with a 1/4" drill bit while adjusting). Do likewise on the secondary side but set it down about 5/16". Do final setting on the car using the sight plugs. Note that the secondary side site plug sits down a little further than the primary side- this is normal. Float level should be slightly higher on the primary side than on the secondary.

This will get you PLENTY close for a good first start when you reinstall it.
