Need help identifying H/W 5200 adjustments

Just installed a H/W 5200 w/Stovebolt adapter on my '68 Bronco. Man did it ever make a difference! It appears to run fine right out of the box too! This is great because I really know very little about carb adjustment, which brings me to my question. Would someone please look at the following pics and tell me what screws A, B,C, & D are for?

I'd like to know which screw performs which function if I need to attempt any adjustments. Also, if you have any advice about making any adjustments, that would be great too.

A is primary idle jet

B is fast idle cam

C is the idle mix, yours has the cap to prevent adjusting, which is kind of bad.

D is the secondary idle jet.


- You don't adjust the idle jets, except by unscrewing it and swapping out the jet. They should be screwed in all the way (but not torqued down).
 
You do want to make sure the idle jets are "snug" During my 5200 jet adventures I had my primary idle jet fall out and luckily found it wedge in motor mount.

If runs good with what you have I say go for it as is. Make sure your not too rich or lean or way out of adjustment and enjoy.Without a AFR meter or a Dyno you really can't tell what is going on if it's close.

If you do decide to go jetting, read all the post on 5200 jetting, especially the sticky post. I also recommend buying the 5200 book online, ($10) it simplifies the carb and lets you understand what your doing.
