RUNNING RICH and how to adjust
OK so fiddling with the climate control means I have had to idle the engine for an extended period resulting in a large black sotty mark on the driveway and fouled spark plugs. cleaned the plugs and washed down the drive but is this an indication of rich mixture and if so is there an adjustment for mixture on the carter carbys? have not looked in the service manual thought I would put it out here for comment first.

Ok had a Go at adjustng mixture. One thing to query.. Is the idle solely set by the main mixture screw as i cannot see any seperate idle adjust screw?

Adjustments for both Carter AFB and Rochester 4GC are in the shop manual.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,
