1983 F150 VV carb rich/lean adjustments ?
hello all,
i have a 1983 f150 with the VV carb and was wondering where the adjustment screw is for setting richness/leaning it out ? i know theres 2 screws at the top of the carb left side(while looking from the front) but am at a loss as to wich one it is.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advnace.

i think you have the motorcraft model 2150 carb. if that is what you got then there are only 2 mixture screws, they only control the idle mixture. they are at the bottom front of the carb. i have no idea what screws you are talking about.

do you have the TFI ignition and ECC-IV? you said you have a TPS so i think your carb is a "feedback" carb which the computer control the off-idle mixture. all you can change is the idle mixture, idle speed, and fast idle speed. thats if you have the TFI and ECC-IV. if you have those then you have the 2150 carb. cause i never heard of a 7200 carb b4. if you dont have the TFI and ECC-IV then you have the duraspark 2 or 3 ignition and have a regular carb.
