Jim, if you have a generic 4150/4160 then do yourself a favor and buy a reasonably cheap one off of Ebay and practice taking that carb apart, adjusting it, putting it back together, etc. There are a ton of videos on YouTube showing you every step of the way. You can do it. Your confidence will grow, and remember, if you somehow manage to really screw something up just throw the carb away. Once you say to yourself "wow, I understand this and can do it myself" then tackle the one that's on your car. Learning how to adjust and rebuild a Holley is a skill that will serve you well during your Cobra ownership. If you dropped your car off at a gas station in the early 1970's it was kids like me that were rebuilding them and adjusting them for you. It's very, very easy.
