Center Carb Adjuster
Sometimes the idle mixture screws on the center carb can be a real bear to get a screwdriver into. The intake setup on the Hemi is a really good example of this. It can be particularly true if the engine is running a bit rough and requires adjustment.
Rather than go through the self-abuse I've done in the past, I decided to make an adjustment tool from an old flexable carb adjusting screwdriver I had laying around.
I found an old 1/4" drive socket that was the right size (after the screwdriver head on the adjuster had been gound off) was shortened and tack welded to the end of the screwdriver shaft.
The drivers side adjuster was a really tight squeeze so I also shortened the the adjuster screw in addition to removing the screwdriver head.
Works great and will be kept in the tool box in the truck of the 57.Last edited by Mike P; 02-11-2007 at 06:52 AM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
