I've heard a really good way is to run the car at fast idle, and slowly pour water into the carb. You have to keep gassing it to keep it running, but it works well. If you have TPI, I don't know how you would accomplish this.

You can also do it by pouring a SMALL amount of ATF into the intake with the engine idling about 1000RPM.
