The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Idle Screw

Not really a matter of what makes me "feels good" as much as it is a matter of what makes the truck "run good." As I said, am new to V8s - but not new to early Fords (so I went with what a Service Bulletin recommended and that happened to be validated by my previous experience with As and Ts). I did try turning the mixture screws out and mentioned that in my original post ("have played with the mixture adjustments endlessly"). That being said, I didn't try it while simultaneously adjusting the idle speed as Drolston suggested below - will try that next.
