Default Adjust Holley carburetor

Hi,

This is the first time I post something on this forum. So I'm not sure if I'm doing it correct.
A while ago I bought a 68 Fastback, after all the paperwork (since this is Belgium) I finaly was able to retrieve it and start it.

I've noticed that there smell of gas (petrol) when the engine is running. I think that the carburetor needs to be adjusted, however I would like to know what the best way is to adjust the carburetor.
Can anyone help me with that? (Turn the screw x times to the left )

Many regards

I would recomend figuring out what model of holley you have and then go to their site. They will have the adjustment instructions on all their carbs. If the gas is not coming out of the carb while the car is running it may not be a carb problem.
