It will help if you say what engine / carb you have

I would guess a 1300 x flow by your "building:...." section but as above, knowing the carbs would help.

Don't know about the crossflow, but on the pinto the standard ford carb is pretty awful, see if you can pick up a weber or dellorto form ebay,
ideally with a manifold as a bundle.
Then search on the net for approximate jet sizes, on the carb there will be two adjustments, an idle adjustment - which usually is just a screw which
will alter the stretch of the throttle cable carrier. The other is a mixture screw - there will be a guideline setting for the carb/engine combo
(again do a search on the net) - set it to that. You can make the mixture leaner or richer by turning the mixture screw, tiny movements ineights of a
turn or less can make big differences.
With the timing, get a timing light (gunson do one for about £15) and put the inductive sensor on the spark lead for cylinder no1. Point the gun at
the timing wheel and pull the trigger, the strobe effect will show a mark on the timing wheel and on the block, as you twist the distributor the
timing mark on the wheel will move, twist the distributor until the mark on the wheel and the block line up.
You can set up a carb reasonably well by doing the above but for best results ideally take it to a rolling road and get a pro to set it up.
HTH Good luck,
Tom
