Sorry - I should have said "I intend to change the **setting of** the ALDA",
not "Change the ALDA" -
I will turn the screw CCW 1-1.5 turns as you suggest.
Even when I proofread my posts I miss stuff -

Thanks Marshall,
Your experience on these cars is encyclopaedic! I plan to change the
ALDA soon (when I replace the GPs) -- hopefully, next week when I get my
parts shipment from Rusty.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Why are you changing the ALDA? They don't usually wear out! About all
that usually happens is that people that don't know what they are doing
damage them by playing with them. They really require setting and then
they should be stable for many, many years. If your acceleration numbers
drop a bit THEN you might want to readjust them AFTER you've made sure
everything else is working properly. Most ALDAs don't require
readjustment (except the ones that were set VERY lean right from the
factory). It's NOT something that needs periodic adjustment.
