I took the ventura out of my old spare mid 60s carb, cleaned it really well and swapped it into the original Edsel carb that was on the car.

Wow, it runs much better now. I was able to drop the idle to 625 in park and set the timing at 8 degree BTDC with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged. The manual says 6-10 so I put it in the middle until I can get the carb working correctly and can drive it a little.

Adjusting the mixing screws still has no effect. I'm going to find a replacement carb...
