Pics & in return, a couple of questions

I shot some pics of the locations of the idle adjust & mixture adjust screws on my '82. I know there have been a lot of questions about where the hell these are. I circled them in the third pic, the others are just for location reference. The red is the mixture, and the blue is the idle speed.







And now here are my questions:

Does this sticker have any signifigance or is it an auction sticker?



Shouldn't my headlight switch be down when my headlights are down? I think mine works backwards for some reason.

The headlights should be up when the switch is in that position.

Never seen that sticker before, and REVHED's right about the switch.

Thank you for the pics - I am budgeting a carb rebuild and don't even know how to adjust one!

The thing I don't understand about the switch, is that the plug only goes in one way, which would mean that someone rewired it backwards?

Weird.

No problem about the pics JEC-31. It's something I've been meaning to do for a while now. Just finally got around to it. People on the forum have been a huge help to me, providing pics, schematics, and such. I figured the least I could do was throw a little out there for others.

You could remove the switch, rotate it 180 degrees, and re-install it.

I could, but then the picture on the switch would be upside down. I know, I'm ****.

Someone here has to know something about what the sticker means... Come on guys... I need to know... I'm too curious for my own good, and I need to know if I should leave it on there or just peel the thing off.
