96 787 high speed carb setting

[lilngineer]

I just rebuilt my carbs on my 96 challenger with a 787. Like many others, the plastic caps were gone.

I have seen that the spec'd initial setting should be zero. Does this apply with the caps removed?

I would like to get it in the ballpark before I take it out for a test run.

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

yeah, they install the caps, so if needs to be adjusted, can only be no more than 1/4 turn. So, without caps, just bury the screw.

I think they state to gently seat it. So don't crank down on it too hard.

Thats what i thought so I went with that setting...ran great (but need to read plugs). Thanks for the advise.
