Default Need Help with tuning Webers

Hello All,

I have been trying to figure out these webers for awhile now. Of course the more you play with them, the more you will understand them.
My questions is, I installed a fresh set plugs NGK # 7 in my 427 SO engine and ran the motor for about 3-5 minutes at idle and plulled the plugs and found that they were black carbon. Here are my specs:

Main Jet - 160
Air Corrector - 210
Emulsion tube - F-7
Chokes - 37
Bypass - 55
Idle Jet - 55 F10
Idle Jet holder - 120
Pump Jet - 45
Aux Venturi - 45

I also noticed that my mix screws are about 2 to 2 1/2 turns out. Whats funny is I am using an LM-1 to tune the carbs and I set it lean to about 17.1 -18.1 and it still runs rich.

I read the articles on the web from inglese and it states that it should be 3/4 turn on the mix screw. I am suspecting that I need to change the value on my my Idle Jet and Idle jet holder.

Any suggestions
