68, bad idle



My LeBaron had always bad idle ever since I got it.  I have tried adjusting 
the idle mixture screws a few times, with no luck.  Last night I noticed 
that the left exhaust pipe is much warmer than the right.  That probably 
indicates that one of the carb idles is running real rich (cool side) and 
the other real lean.  My question is, which side of the carb affects witch 
cylinder bank?  If I enrich the left screw, am I really enriching the right 
cylinder bank or the left?  My guess is the former, but I am curious if 
anybody know better.

Next week I will try to pull our exhaust gas analyzer and see what the 
mixture strength is from each side.

Thanks
