    How do I initially set the needles? I am familiar with the late 50’s 10 seahorse 1.5 and .75 turns out accordingly then dial in from there.

    That procedure should work.  Note that when the choke is on, the choke-action fuel sucked through the carb has nothing to do with the  the low speed needle.  When starting, if the choke is not completely shut,  you will get no extra fuel due to the choke, and you need that unless the motor has just been run.  Once it’s running, the higher RPM creates a suction where a partially on choke will add fuel.
