Where would one find the most accurate online tech info to tune (not rebuild) a stock six pack setup for a 440?

Particularly the idle mixture screw settings on the outboards...I know cam, altitude, etc. will change that, but I am still curious about factory setting as a starting point.

Hot Rod Magazine had an article back in 08 on this.

Thanks for the tech info. I guess what started it all off, for me, was a thread on here re: another six pack owner. I just finished tuning my six pack and know now that I might have it a little too lean (Yet, at an idle, the exhaust rolls a little rich). So I did a quick online power search and found articles with different opinions. Even found a few Mopar tech forums with different articles cut and pasted with follow-up replies dis-crediting the articles. So I started to wonder where the factory settings were set!!! Currently, I can tell you jet size, accelerator pump cam color straight from the factory. Yet no idle screw settings?

All that research had me thinking the article I was following was wrong as well.

(Continue to change the number after "carbs" up to "8" to see the entire article)

Unfortunately, this article explains much, but it foregoes any info. re: stock settings (My ride is far removed ftrom factory production, but I have an inquiring mind - Especially when I read the idle screw settings on the outboards are any where from 1/8 turn to 1 1/2 full turns - inclusive, I think, the idle bleed test).

Sign me...
Just a little confused here!
