Start at the low end and twist your string after every shot until the bow shoots quietly.

Been awhile since I had one, but I seem to remember 8 1/2" brace on mine.

I have one made back in the 70's.  Great little bow.  Seems to me the original recommended brace height was 9"-9.5".  With an AMO 58" Dacron string and no twists, mine braces at 9.5"...

Bob Lee recommends 7 5/8 on the new ones I'll bet that is a good starting point. I have the very same bow mine is braced at 7 1/4 that is a little low IMO

I have am AMF redwing 40@28, 52".  I got it new in the early 70's.  The brace back then was around 9.5", but since I started shooting it again, I find that around 8-8.5 work better.

Nice bow,

Carl
