Tuning BBC for AZ EMISSIONS?

[savatreatabvr]

The dreaded trip to the emissions station! My experience with tuning vehicles to take through emissions hasn't been a good one, I've learned that adjusting and tweaking a motor to run it's very best isn't always always the best way to go! I've got the basics down, change the oil, plugs, cap & rotor and air filter but I need help when It comes to timing and carburetor adjustments to pass emissions! I'm assuming making it run hot and as lean as possible is the way to go, anyone know how to tune a stock mid 70's 454 with an Edelbrock 1407 and HEI distributer?
