I was wondering if anyone had any advanced carburator skills regarding the 4 barrel Quadrajet on a 305. This is for an 1985 Toronado?

I have a brand new Engine and Carburator. When going for emissions, the CO reads incredibly high. It wont pass emissions. I take it to the shop, the charge me $100 and it still reads high. It wasn't as high, but only went down a little.

When getting a 4 barrel quadrajet new, from the factory the settings are sealed and the seal has to be drilled off. I've been told by the emissions people that the car is running too rich.

Does anyone know the exact amount of turns for the settings? Some sort of help would be greatly appreciated.
