Of course all engines are different, but...
When I ran my standard TR last year, my final needle settings left me at around 1 1/4 turns out. Now depending on outside temp, I may have gone in/out an 1/8 of a turn, but essentially, I was always in that area. Usually with a runnig temp of 220-235. This was with the 10J slide carb.
With my new R-Spec and the 11A slide carb, I am pretty much at exactly 1 turn out. This left me with a max running temp of 198 on a 85 degree day. I've put the lower temp to the fact that this engine uses a significantly larger head than the original. Larger head=more cooling. Just like before, I may go in/out a 1/8 of a turn here or there depending on temp, but this seems to be just right on top end, fuel economy, and engine temp.
So your not too far off with your needle settings.
