massive turns of mixture screw had little-to-no-effect on the way the engine runs
Yeah, that's basically what I was experiencing on Sunday... :-\ But the car runs worse... I'll have to baseline them and start over, they've got to be way outta wack unless somehow i got them to a decent point by ear and smell, which is almost possible, but not quite yet...

The engine by the way, runs GREAT. Better than the b20f ever did, and I think I like the valves set at wherever Eric put them, I can't remember if it was .020 or .018. I used to set them to .016, but Eric did the adjusting differently from what I'm used to(Phil's way, but also my way cause I suck at it, haven't done it enough times to be good quite yet), and I like it. They weren't too outta wack, but after his adjusting, they are quieter and the car seemed to run smoother.

Me the HIF guru? Hmm, ok, I'll do it =D.
Peace man!
