T/A carb rebuild / Tuning

Hi All,
I'm hopping on of the experts out there can point me in the right direction on setting up my six pak. I've read through a couple of previous posts that detail how to set up the carbs, followed them, and still have problems. Basically no mater what I do it still runs rich. So rich that it litterially burns your eyes if your within 10ft of the car. At this point I'm thinking maybe I need to rebuild the carbs. does anyone know of a good rebuild kit, or anything I may have over looked?
Any help would be great!!

99% of small block 6pks run well with the mixture screws in the outboards 1/4 , 1/2 turn out.Beyond that they can go rich real quick.If the outboards are rich you will have trouble with the center adjustment.2 1/2 turns on the center is a place to start once you have the correct idle rpm and ignition timing..Also,as some call them rebuild kits,you get nothing more than new accelerator pump,needle/seat,gaskets and clips.If you presently have no leaks,have throttle response,and you can adjust the float level and have no flooding,you have accomplished nothing.The acception would be an original carb that still has the old cork metering plate gasket in place and after 40+ years I doubt there are many of those around.

Now,if the metering plates have been modified and major jetting changes have been made then it is a whole new can of worms.

Hi,
thanks for the input. do you know what the correct timming and idle RPM should be?
Thanks,
