I found this procedure to be spot on, and for the right reasons.

Retuned my 1982 Chevrolet 454 with a 750 Edelbrock using this and the exhaust cleaned up nicely. Produced 18+ inches of vacuum at 850 rpm, then set the idle to 650rpm.

Just checked the metering rods on the Edelbrock 1411 to see what I can go to for reducing fuel feed.

Currently .075/.047, checked Edelbrock and that is the largest they have for that carb.

Will play with the timing next.

Could use some input, would I want to ignite earlier or later to get the best burn results?
