225 Slant needs a good idle. what rpms are you spinning?

Idle mixture screw setting for best running is gonna vary a bit engine to engine. You can tweak out a carb and get it running absolutely great on an engine then drop that carb on another engine and there's a good chance you will have to tweak it again to run it's best on the 2nd engine.
I usually set them around 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns from lightly seated to start off with. And from there? "Whatever works" for that particular engine
Yea I get you but not my issue . My ideal screw is all the way out . It's still field very rough at 1000-1200 . Even with distributor all the way retarded . Yes already pulled thr distributor and too dead center and Tried move plugs over one spot to see about getting to closer . It's acting like classic vacuum leak but can't find one anywhere . The motor prior to head swap ran very low rpms , never once stalled , had way more power in pedal . The new head has 100 thousands off and should have slightly better compression and more power. But it's now a total dog and idle high . Stalls , has no power even at full throttle . I'm about to set the car on fire
