CARB:
First off you need to set your float levels. You will need to adjust your idle also. Check out www.holley.com they have a good writeup on carb tunning.
TIMING:
Well you will need a timing light to set the timing. Always set the timing with the vaccum advance hose plugged off. Start with about 12* initial timing.
You also need to set you fuel pressure. Start with about 6-7 psi.
