Very first thing you need to do is to purchase the ORIGINAL GENUINE Chevrolet Service Manual.
1973 Chevy Car Repair Shop Manual Reprint Chevelle, Camaro, Monte Carlo, Nova, Corvette
Over 1,200 pages of how to fix/repair/adjust anything on the car, including setting up the choke and rebuilding the carburetor. Written for Chevrolet Dealer mechanics by Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors.
Not like one of those fosdick Motors, Haynes or Chilton manuals that basically say "disassemble, re-assemble in reverse".
That's the first thing I do when I acquire any new project, is to buy the ORIGINAL FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL.
