i thought that was the idle mixture screw? i was reading and it say is behind a silver cap but i cant find itin my friend carb.

RotaryRyan

I think(not positive) that only califonia models have those caps

Ya, I think that is for california models, the idle screw is over to the right a bit. What year do you have? I think but could be wrong, that 79' and 80's they have there screws being one on top of eachother. Hope this helps.

True, but most of these 20 year old carbs have had the caps removed at some point. Yes thats the idle mixture screw.

Maybe this will help. The carb on my car *has* the cap on the set screw, but I can't take a pic because my camera batteries just died.

The screw in the center is the idle mix screw. It's immediately below a nipple. See, I bet I caught your attention with "nipple". The screw way to the right is the idle speed setter.
