adjust your carb: 1.put a vaccuum gauge on a vacuum line coming off the carb
2.screw both screws all the way out and start it(the adj screws) are on opposing sides on the middle sides of the carb
3.start the car and make sure you choke is on if its elec. or not
4. screw the adj screws in until you reach the max vacuum
5. then adj the idle screw located on the body of thethrottle linkage)until you are at the desired idlr 750 rpm
6 remove the vac gauge and your done
the floats did not need to be adj they are factory set unless sombody messed with them
