Thanks Boogie, I'll have to decipher most of what you said. Sorry, I come from the world of sport bikes and tuners where I can hook up a laptop to my ECU and adjust from there. I'm fairly new to carbs and all this old school stuff so everything I have to learn.

Again, thank you everyone who is helping me figure this out. I know I'm asking newb questions and should have a better understanding of all this. Unfortunately the man who would of taught me isn't with us anymore an I don't know many people that work on old cars like this. Most of my friends are IT specialists and coders, and not very handy when it comes to cars.
