You know me, I would happily RTFM ... IF it HAD one!Grats!
I'd start with the booklet that came with it (RTFM, LOL!). When we dropped the Edelbrock 1406 onto Frank, Jim started 'fiddlin' with it,' like he'd always done, and when he got it where he wanted it, it ran well enough, but still puffed a little black smoke when I goosed it and stumbled a tiny bit immediately off idle. I spent about 20 minutes reading the 'initial set-up' section, and wound up bumping up the idle to 850 (from 600-ish, where he had it), opened the air needles at the base about a half-turn each, and moved my timing vac from port to manifold. Well... you know how well it does now. Even got a "Holy ****!" out of Jim for that one. We talked about the air needles, and he admitted he thought they worked backward to what they do (so did I, until I read it, TBH). Learning occurred that day. LOL!
I got a cardboard box containing a plastic-wrapped carb, the gaskets, and a shipping invoice.
That's it. No manual.
Poopstick.
Trawling through the interwebs continues ...
