Randy,

Your setup sounds pretty similar to what many of us run.  You will want size
64, 65, or maybe 66 main jets and probably a 9.5 or 10.5 power valve.  The
number corresponds to the vacuum level in inches, so the higher the number
the quicker it opens when you mash the throttle.  This lets you run leaner
while cruising and still have all the power when you need it.  If you don't
have a high enough power valve, you will need to compensate with bigger main
jets.  Here are a couple of links to tips on setting up your carb:
