You have to buy the calibration kit, I know Summit has them. It will have a range of needles and springs so you can set tailor your carb to your application.

I have ran two Edelbrock / Carfter AFB Comp Carbs I ran a 900 cfm on my 70 428 SCJ Mach One Love it and I ran a 650 on my 77 Bronco with a 302 great for wheeling dosent flood out like a Holley the carb you have is to big for a Stock 351 You can change the Primarys and the secondarys go to Edlebrook.Com they have a tech line that is great and will help you and they can send you the book that comes with the carbs and tells how to adjust them

Good Luck
