Hi again Sergeant,

I attached all the info below on how to remove and install the carburetor. Then I also attached the info on idle, curb, and fast adjustments.

However, if this is a new carb then it probably won't need to be adjusted much. Most of them come set at a base setting that is pretty close to correct.

Also, here is a video of a Chevrolet big block tuning. Clearly this is a different animal so the actual adjustments are going to be different and in different places but the idea is the same of how to do the adjustments on any carburetor.

Let us know if you need more info and we can go from there. Thanks
