Anthony:

There is a special suppliment to the 55 Shop Manual
that describes how to adjust the dual quads.  There
are alot of precise measurements to the linkage (also ties
in to the transmission kick down) that must be made for
the set-up to run right.  The booklet is about 12 pages and
has an orange cover, there was one for sale on E-Bay
this week,  They appear often, either in reprint or the
original.  Highly recommended to get your carbs on the
right track.  Mike
