There's a section in here about that.

It talks about a holley but yours is the same.
Runs MUCH better now. No black smoke at all. Initial is still at 8 and throttle is nice and crisp. I didn't get to drive it yet but hopefully when I do, I can get the initial higher. I still need to dial in the mixture screws and get the total timing set but need the tools to measure everything.
