Block plane

Just bought a Miller Falls block plane at a flee market for $2 and it needs sharpening. What is the correct blade angle to sharpen a blade to?
 
As Ray noted, 25 deg. is the standard, provided it's not a "low angle" plane. I'm linking an article by Bob Smalser on plane restoration--lots of pictures and descriptions that might give you some pointers on tuning it up, even if you're not interested in doing a full restoration.
