the way i was taught to tune a carb was this.
-warm up the engine to running temp, about 140 or so.
- pull one of the vacuum plugs and put oon your vauum gauge.
-start to adjust the fuel air screws on the front of the carb.
-give the throtle a blip after every adjustment, let it settle and check your gauge.
-your tring to get as much vacuum as possible (which is a lil under 15 on mine).
this is the way i was shown to do it and it always works for me. im not saying its the only way or even the best way. but it gets the job done for me ...heres a nother pic fer ya junkies!!




oh an as for the pics low down an in the grass. i just like the point of view. makes my lil pickem up seem big!!..haaa

Truck looks great in that backdrop. It's good to get the bugs worked out.
