Edelbrock setup for dual quad

Thanks, vacuum leaks are plugged now. Front carb pcv plugged. Checked timing and its 17* with VA plugged.
I've never messed with a DQ before so a steep learning curve here for me. There was a reply by another member that said to back off curb idle all the way and screw in idle mixtures all the way, so I took his advice, he runs his DQ's like that all the time. Like I said I have no idea. But I did as he mentioned and it fires right up now and idles pretty good(after getting pcv hooked up and plugging open port on back of intake). Some of it looks like an abortion(coil bracket, return spring bracket, progressive linkage)but its functioning.
I have no throttle cable so I cant test drive it unfortunately.
Lol, yeah good point with choke on front carb. I'm actually surprised with how good it fires up and idles. I have choke linkage unhooked and not hooked up electrically.
It seems to be running rich as exhaust takes eyes right outta you lol.
I'll try 1 turn out on both carbs for idle mixture screws.
What about curb idle on 2ndary carb?

Stop trying to run it and tune anything until you have all the vacuum leaks plugged. It won’t do a damn thing. And whoever told you to run the mixture screws all the way in is wrong. Bottom them all lightly and then turn them all out 1 turn as a starting point. Closing the choke on the secondary carb won’t do anything if you have the curb idle screw backed all the way out either. You’re getting there.
