Last 3 entries.....

Idle circuit is probably the idle mixture screw....Each corner should have an idle adjustment....rich/lean. Apparently he's showing how many turns these should be set at. Screw each one in, then back them out 3.5 turns.

Idle RPM.....self explanatory. If it idles that high...it must have a big choppy cam in it....

Not for sure about carb idle jet......possibly the idle speed adjustment....again....how many threads are showing....maybe this will give you the 1200-1250 rpm idle....

The points entry refers to the ignition method. Older distributors had points inside where there is electrical contact....I guess he's giving what they should be set at.....again I think he may mean .020" instead of .2".
