help adjusting carb

Smells when...at idle, or going down the road? Did you swap in fresh plugs? (not the ones it first fired with) Pull one and loo at it. Black=rich. Lots of black or wet=way rich, or weak spark. I find most Edelbrocks are naturally lean, but have too much lift in the step up springs for the metering rods. So it goes overrich very easy while driving. You will find the strip kit for that carb number very helpful. Rich at idle may be the cam, or the mixture. The mix can be adjusted with a vaccum gage and screwdriver.
