Cost of setting timing, on a V8 ??

He adjusted the idle screws??

I DAM sure hope he pulled the carb off before adjusting that!

the idle screws should be labeled and listed on the exploded view as DO NOT TOUCH screws....

I hope its not a Holley carb....if it is he did it wrong?
on the Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor
On a stock smogged setup from the late 60s into the 70s, idle mix on both Holleys and Carters were adjusted using idle bleeds and a CO meter. But that's not what he's got.
