I have found that when you spell something correctly, more people are apt to believe that you know what you are talking about. If someone works on something long enough, the name is burned into their mind. I definitely would not listen to anyone that talked about my Forde car.
For tuning tips, one of the places I like to show people is the below link...

Basically, if this is a vacuum secondary 4V, I set the secondary idle first. This is a small screw set in the throttle linkage plate. Turn it until the transfer slots *just* start to peek out. Some folks take the screw out and turn it over so that they can adjust it without having to take off the carb. Turn the idle enrichment needles in until they lightly seat. Turn back out 1.5 turns. If you have a fuel gauge, set your pressure for 6-6.5PSI. Set the accelerator pump to where there is just a touch of play (.010") to keep it from shooting fuel if you hit a bump. Fire it up and let it warm up. Try to get it to idle at ~650-800, depending upon cam and engine build. Start first with your float levels. You want the gas to just about trickle out of the threads on a level surface. Do both front and rear.
I set the idle enrichment needles for best manifold vacuum. Go back and forth between them several times. I set one, set the other, then set my idle. Rinse and repeat.
Once you have all this done, test drive. The biggest issue you may have is the accelerator pump. You want no hesitation. This will get you in the ballpark.
Now you get to think about jets, squirter cams, squirter nozzles, secondary diaphragm springs, etc. The URL above should help there.
