I just purchased a car with a Holley 850 Carb. This is my first car with a carb setup. Does anyone have any links to articles that shows how to tune a carb (Holley 850)?

All the links listed are good, and there are a million books on this.

I would think that an 850 is way overkill unless you have a full on stroker 351. I had a 750 dp on a BB Dodge once, and it was way too much.
