2 bbl. Motorcraft & a dwell cam

If it idles best with the adjustment screws all the way in, I would try drilling the idle air bleeds. Also, you may have in your box of carbs a pair of smaller idle fuel restrictions. Having all those parts you could try either (or both) approach(s).

When you get it leaned down it will likely idle up and allow you to close the throttle blades, and cover the transfer slots.

Just curious, but what CFM would the 2V carb be? I can't imagine a 2bbl Cleveland not pulling well past 6500.
