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.

2 of my cars have tri-power and all I did was take a short piece of vacuum hose and fit it onto the idle screws. Now I can adjust the idle by hand. The float bowl hides it so you can't see it unless you're looking.
