edelbrock 1406 carburetor

I have a rebuilt 330 hi compression engine with a slightly bigger cam and .030 over pistons.
I have a Edelbrock 1406 / 600 cfm carburetor and seems to be running a little rich.
I have the stock jets, metering rods and springs. Has anyone tuned or setup their carburetor other than stock?
what jets or metering rods are being used? I have the 330 in a '67 Cutlass convertible, stock intake and exhaust manifolds, 200 4R transmission with a/c.

Buy a wideband/O2 gauge and do it yourself. Every application is different.

+1 on the wideband

I had a stock 350 running and 2300 ft. elevation with:
395 main
392 sec
6755 rod
org spring

Should get you closer.

Here is a link to the owner's manual. I will discuss how to tune the carb to your application.
