I could sudjest getting a vacume gauge, 10 /15 bucks. With the car running hook the gauge line to vacume port on carb. While the motors running watch the guage/ boost numbers, run your mixture srew in till it`s ready to stall then start backing it out again. You are lookin for maximum boost on the guage, as your adjusting you screw out the gauge # will keep rising It will get to a point where backing mixture out and maximum vacume will be reached . play with it for awhile you will see what I`m talking about.

 

Sorry - I just can't not say something...
I can understand "vacume." I mean, vacuum is an unusually spelled word.

But "sudjest?" C'mon, man - ask Santa for a spell checker!
