   Hi all,
   I am working on my friends 61 Monza and have a carb question. I have
completely rebuilt the carbs and reinstalled and balanced the two. My
question is I have to turn the mixture screws IN  to get perfect idle
and vacuum. { almost all the way in }.  Is this normal on 61 carbs? I am
used to backing out the screws to obtain optimum performance. I did
notice that the Venturi clusters have a large vent hole on the top side
along with the normal vent hole. The car runs and performs beautifully.
Have I missed something or is this normal for 61 and these carbs. ?  All
vacuum lines and any related parts have been checked and replaced as
needed. This is my first real experience with 61 carbs. Any input is
appreciated.
  Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers on the list
