Quadrajet tune??

See the red truck under my ID? It is almost pure stock original--some of the best options like--350V8, turbo 350 trans, Posi rear, HD springs, front sway bar, factory AM/fm, Tint glass, Air, --
--I put in a super nice Tach Dash, HEI and a real nice Van tilt----------new carpeting, seat cover and then did a complete rebuild of the bed with rust free sides, good floor, new tailgate, cab corners, rockers, etc.

I am about ready to put it up for sale but have a couple of issues to address--
1- need to get the 350 rear main seal replaced
2- it runs too rich---to the point it stinks and activates the alarm in the garage---not just when idling cold but also when warm.

Is there anything I can do to the carb while mounted to get it to run leaner? I know about the idle screws that you can turn but that is "idle" only adjustment. Do i need to pull the sucker and get it rebuilt? It does run like new in every other respect.

Probally just an adjustment, 2 screws in the front, turn in untill motor start to run rough, then turn out till motor smooths out, if adjusting and nothing changes carb needs rebuild. Also note that with any carb you will get big fumes in a garage, Untill I swapped out my carbs in favor of FI i would run the truck n the garage for 5 minutes and get gassed out (new Edeljunks tuned) with the door open. went to FI and could leave the truck running in the garage for over an hour with door closed and wasn't anywhere near as obnoxiuos.
