Hi Mike,
Several things.......

The Source (Dave Herrin) sells a copy of the Rochester Carburetor Training 
booklet. Contact him for a copy. I think that is what you are looking for.

Second. All mods you make will have to be trial and nature by definition 
since I know of no document that will guide you thru a procedure. And of course, 
all testing will take time to evaluate any changes. 

It may be a good idea to locate some carburetor books and learn how they work 
before you start. 

Good luck.

Regards,
Bob Helt
