Air/fuel mixture screw setting

First let me thank you all for allowing me to join the group. My name is Steve. Hoping someone can give me advice on setting the air/fuel mixture screws on my 85 Ford E150. I just rebuilt the motorcraft 2150 2 barrel and it runs great but I would like to tweak it out with a vacuum gauge. Problem is that I can't reach the screws when it's mounted back on the manifold. I set it at 1 and 3/4 turns from being seated and as I said it runs good. Found lots of videos on cars and trucks on how to set it but nothing on vans. With that maze of wires and vacuum hoses plus the firewall directly above the carb I cannot get a screwdriver back under there to set it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Would add a photo to this message but not sure how to do it. Sorry.

The folks that know about this sort of thing don't often visit the "New Member Introductions" forum. If you post over in the "1968-2013 Full Size Vans" forum you'll probably get some answers going.

Welcome aboard!
