In my case all I needed to do was to richen the idle mixture just a hair (1/8 turn). My timing has nothing to do with it as I'm at 36 degrees total. I won't F with the float levels, Holley engineers know what they're doing. If you raise the float levels too much you'll flood the carb, lower it and it'll starve for fuel. Like someone above said, you don't need to re-invent the wheel. These carbs are quite close to perfect out of the box. Just a little tweak should do the trick.
