Holly Help Needed

Got all the winter mods sorted so far, and its great to have the beast back on the road.
Problem......
I'm running a 600 cfm holley and the smell of fuel from the sidepipes is making my eyes water and thats at speed
Ive looked at the holley book and it shows a diagram detailing the 'mixture adjusting screw' on page 12.
Can I find it in the exploded diagram at the back, can I buggery.
Can I find it on the carb, in a nutshell NO.
Help where is the little bugger located????????
I NEED TO SEE WHERE I AM GOING, NOT WIPING MY EYES

Andy

There should be 2 Idle mixture screws, 1 on each side, the one on the right looking from the drivers seat is just behind the fuel level site plug and just below the timed spark port, the one one the other side is in the same place.

From Andy's description on the phone it sounds like float adjustment as it is all through the rev range. He's on the case
