I have (had) one on my 68 318 cuda from a 74 440 and just a little tuneing made it run good, no jet or rod changes. It got 29 mpg one time so it is not running too rich. I would try it as is and report back any running problems.

Jet-it-down ? ... not necessary !! ... just RAISE the tree if it is a touch rich.

As alluded to above, you don't need to re-jet unless the carb is a post '74 passenger car T.Q. with smogger calibration. All '71-'74 T.Q.'s can be run as-is without re-jetting. The engine will only use the exact air and gas it needs thanks to the sophistication of these carbs. All three main circuits, idle, cruse and wot(hi speed)can be 'dialed-in' externally to compensate for weather and atmospheric conditions etc. So you can easily tune for max performance and gas mileage, David.
