You will be leaning out the mixture so to increase vacuum you will be turning the mixture screws clockwise, which will be tightening the screws. When you hit max vacuum then turn them counter clockwise to back them off until the vacuum just starts to drop.

If I remember right they jet the 3310 for a mild 454 and the 1850 for a mild 350 so your jetting will be off a bit. If you re-jet it you may also need to change the squirters and maybe even the pump cam to reduce the pump shot volume so it doesn't rich bog on you. You can look up the jet size, pump cam & squirter size they put on the 1850 and use them as a good guide line to get you by for a while without spending a bunch of money on trial & error getting it right.
