I was starting to balance my carbs, never looked into them since I bought the car. I ran into some issues with my carbs vs the standard docs I find.
One bank reads 4.5 and 5, the other bank reads 6 and 6 with the snail. When I looked into adjusting the lower reading one, I noticed some odd looking adjustment options.
I was expecting to see an air bypass, idle mixture and vacuum port on both sides. I only have it on one side. Pic below.
The side missing the air bypass happens to be the lowest reading of all 4 carbs, so how do I adjust that one?
Carbs are numbered, 40 IDF 42/43 4C on the base of both.

After a full refresh, not rebuild, the air and numbers are a little better.
1. 7
2. 6
3. 6
4. 7
Got the dwell dialed too.
After having these completely apart, I have decided that they are too far gone for my taste. Too many odd things wrong with them that even a full rebuild would not fix. So I think I have bailed on these.
I do have another engine with a different set of newer Webers that I will start messing with this winter.
