Start the car and get it to running temp. Then adjust the carb screws equally so that when you pull the rubber cap off the manifold port the idle neither increases nor decreases. It sounds too simple to work but, I have to say, I am a convert.

Well, as what was said previously, whatever works. Sometimes we just have to think outside the box.

Thanks for your input Patrick. The more info one can gather the better we can over come our challenges.
