Air/fuel mixture screw setting
Just rebuilt my motorcraft 2150 2 barrel on my 85 Ford E150 with a 302 motor. Set the air/fuel mixture screws at 1 and 3/4 turns from seat and it runs great but I would like to tweak it out using a vacuum gauge. Problem is that I can't get a screwdriver back in there to turn the screws after it's mounted on the manifold because of the maze of wires and vacuum lines and the firewall directly above it and the screws are under the carb. Have seen lots of videos for cars and trucks but none on how to do it on a van. Any suggestions on how to get to the screws would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help guide me. Steve.

There is a special tool (or several) just for that job
In case you are not a contortionist with a pocket screwdriver
Here is a picture of a few carburetor mixture adjusting tools
Good luck
You can get them on ebay cheap?
