IDLE MIXTURE
The Edelbrock Performer Series carburetor has conventional Idle Mixture Screws (IMS) that provide a leaner A/F when turned clockwise and richer A/F when turned counter clockwise. The idle air flow is controlled by a conventional screw that opens the Primary Throttles. The following procedure should be used to set the idle mixture and speeds.

I don't think so. When you turn counter-clockwise, you create more space inside, letting more gas flow. When you turn clockwise, you close the gap, letting less gas through. No?

I should know this by now, but I don't 8^[
To make the air fuel mixture more lean on my Edelbrock performer 600, do I turn the screws clockwise or counter-clockwise? My guess is the latter, but I wanted to double-check.
Thanks,
Jim '66 Malibu
