How do you tune a carburator. how woud i tell if it is running rich or lean or what and how would i adjust it. I am completely new to carburated engines so i dont really know much about them

Buy a good book on carbs (available at local book store/summit/jegs/ etc). Also front and back covers of Holley catalogue have lots of useful info.
As for rich/lean, check plugs and get a "feel" for the car. Does it bog, smoke, backfire, etc
I love my wide band o2
