West Bend 580 Kart Engine Timing?

Guys,
Does anyone out there know the correct ignition timing for a WB 580 stock engine when it's used as a kart engine? The easiest way to do it, is if I had a number from TDC, so that I could put my dial indicator in the spark plug hole, and then just set the points to open. A degree wheel is a pain. The engine will run on gas.
Thanks
Brian

Brian,

You're killing me, a engineer kinda guy who manufactured a kart with more adjustments then a Formula One car and your looking for a easy way.

This might be of some help.
