Default Tripower hodgepodge

Bought a tripower from a fella in my more uninformed days early in my resto and come to find out it has a center carb with #7042114 which is a '72 Chevy application. Is this carb usable on a 389? If so, what jet size should I be using? Any other things I should b checking for? I am trying to tune carb right now and it seems to b idling rich...have the I/M screws probably 3 turns out. Don't feel any vacuum pull through outer carbs.
Thanks
