What exactly does each of the 2 mixture screws adjust on the edelbrock carb, and how do I tune it?

Don't blame me cause your chevy broke down, you should have bought a PONTIAC!!

They are your idle air mix screws.
If you turn them all teh way in they will make it run LEAN if you turn em too far out it will run Rich.
About 2-1/2 to 3 turns out should get you close.
Screw em all the way in and back em out 2-1/2 to 3 turns.

If you go to the edelbrock website ( www.edelbrock.com) you can download the manual for your carb. It gives very explicit and easy steps to follow to properly set these up.
