Are you getting another Holley besides the Holley that's in your sig?

If so, here's a Holley idle mixture instructional

YouTube - Holley Carbs - Setting Idle Mixtures

Accelerator pump cams

YouTube - Carburetor Accellerator Pump Cams Video - Holley Carb DVD

Power valves

YouTube - Carburetor Power Valves Video - Holley Carb Tuning DVD

Curb idle

YouTube - Setting Curb Idle Speed of Carburetor Video -Holley Carb DVD

Setting choke

YouTube - Holley Carbs - Setting the choke

There are a few others like float levels, fast idle cam, etc.

By the way, if you look on the choke horn of the carb and write down any numbers off it we can probably tell you what carb ya have.
