Ok you got to give us more to go with....what size is the motor....heads, etc...the only way I know to do it is do them 1 at a time....setting the idle mixture and making sure the float levels are correct as far as power valves you would have to wait till you got to the dyno to set that part...maybe somebody else can help

adjusting dual carbs
 

they are on a 306 FMS F cam e7 that have a tons og port and polish work not sure if stock valves 1.7 rocker arms,I think it's 10:1, i think it has a stock bottem end other than bore.

first syncronise the throttle butterflies,then go from there

A air flow meter is about the only way to sycronize them things correctly, do the simple stuff first though, level the floats, screw in idle screws then back out 3 full turns as a starting point, jet both carbs the same, etc etc, then once you crank it up, (linkage undone) set the carbs to get the same airflow across both at idle, then adjust linkage out to have zero slack between the 2 carbs.
600cfms are kinda big for a little 302 - 450's would probably work better.
You might just run over that stock bottom end once you get it running.

Goodluck, Cp

I know you don't want to hear this.. but those holley 600s suck.... if at all possible change at some point to 660 ctr squirters if possible...

I would take them off, go through them to find out what's all in there (jets Metering block.. etc.. clean all the holes.. set the throttle blades so only a tiny bit of the T-slot is showing and start from there..
