first tnt leaves room for improvment

Oh, ok, it just sounded like, from your post, that you were trying to change your running mixture with the idle mixture screws. They will have little to no effect on your cars performance, only on idle quality.

Sounds like with some seat time and tuning you will get it all sorted out, good luck!
ok thanks i understand i always thought the screws made it richer or leaner im a do it youselfer,shade tree mechanic,but have been playing with muscle cars since 78 this is a higher level now but still entry level as far as drag racing. i work construction for a living.
