So, much ado about nothing.

OK, last year I was at a Ford festival and was chatting with a Ford technician who was deep in to his seventies. He said the way they adjusted the carbs at the dealer on the original 427 4-V cars was to adjust the idle mixture screws the exact same amount on each side so that when you pulled the cap off the manifold vacuum the idle did not go up, nor did it go down. He said
"try it and see." I've used a vacuum gauge to adjust my carb for decades, but last year I did just as he suggested -- and I have to say my engine has never run better.
