Default Need help with a Carburetor

Lets see if anyone on here can help...I have a 79 Camaro with a 4/bl carb, i had went on a small vacation and returned to find someone had readjusted my carb so it would not run right...being a little pissed i have no idea on how to readjust it and dont have the money right now to pay a shop to do it. The car will sometimes start but not always and when it does you can only drive it about 5 miles without the car stalling out and not starting again for another hour or so...when it stalls the engine is flooded because you can see the gas comming from the carb...i really need to get the car running again since it is my only transportation, if anyone can help out i would appricaiate it and would return the favor is some way.
