Go to youtube and type in the model of the carb you have. Holley has some great videos on any tuning you need to do with their carbs. From power valve selection, to adjusting the air bleeds and accelerator pump. I also bought a holley book to refrence part numbers and to have diagrams.

Link to the book I have:

That is the same book I was going to recommend. It is a little dated, would like to see a section on tuning with a wideband, but the info that is there is essential.

And thanks for the youtube suggestion. I didn't know that.

None of them that I have seen are really very good. But, they will give you the basics and get your familiar with the terminology and individual components purpose.
