Default Ignition Timing 445 FE

Hi Guys,
I have my 445 running now having bled the cooling system.
What are the recommendations for the ignition timing?
I have it at 15 BTDC at the moment (no vac) at idle.
I'm not running vac advance at all, so what are the best numbers at least as a starting point?
I know the best way is on a rolling road but I'm just looking to get a good starting point.
Also what idle speed should aim for?
I currently have 650-700 rpm.

Cheers
