Ive also been re-reading info on carbs. I think I am going to richen my primary jets. I guess it came stock as 59/60 jets. I got it with 56/61 and seems to be running lean IMO.
There is a tool that you screw into the sparkplug hole, and it will show you what color your fuel mixture is burning, then you can make adjustments from there

Its called Gibsons color tune, used to use it to set up twin,and trip carbs, on engish sports cars

That GMC fender gave me the perfect paint scheme for my truck
