Is the single adjustment screw a left hand thread?

No idea....that is for the air gap....
You can get the carb restorers to block that off internally and expose the idle adjustments below or have one that has the idle adjustments there as the first pic shows...
From the carb guys the air gap adjustment was a poor design and hence why they ditched it in 69....

On the carb topic... I know this is a 69 but our 4/68 build GTX was single screw. It was LH thread. IIRC the date code was D8 on ours.
Car looks great BTW. If your concerned about the screws you could pull the thumb screws out and replace with the ones from an older carb, recessed screw. They were still adjustable with a very small flat blade.

Hello my friend!
Thank you for the compliments....
The carb pictured above unfortunately is not mine but you are correct on replacing those screws....Plus, it has an H for the month and is a little to far back prior to the build date. I am searching for an I, J, K preferably a J/K. After talking to a few people yesterday and last night and posts like your for example. I thing the carb in the ebay ad is the correct style for mine and this will be a fun search to say the least....
I appreciate all input and thanks for chiming in....

Well, this morning I ventured down to Dallas to drop off my seats to get redone. For some that remember Sue that appears on Gas Monkey Garage to do there upholstery. Sue coined the "Azz Monkey" phrase is where my seats went tp. She is about 10 mins from me South. Her business is called ASM and she is a true owner involved business and does awesome work! Sue is there everyday and handles all operations. As a person she is a wonderful lady with a good heart. While I was there Stu and his wife who owns the original place where GMG started stopped in.

You guys look conjoined.
When I used to watch that show, I always looked forward to the episodes with ASM. Sue always cracked me up. Just her accent saying Azz Monkey was/is the best!
Well, Justin, we can all put a face to your name now.

What is interesting about Sue is how quiet and reserved she is in person. She has a clean cut professional personality. She came out to my car to help remove the seats and boxes and I said, "no worries Sue I will handle it." She wouldn't have it and unloaded the boxes. Then with everything out she looked over each seat, each box and each part....Inspected everything before I was able to leave. I will tell you that place for a saturday in the short time I was there. Probably, ten or more customers stop in...I always heard how widely respected she is around here and I witnessed that first hand yesterday....
As for me I look younger than what my body tells me.....turned 43 this year.....my wife is 4 years older and she looks 20....trust me I do throw the old lady comment around...We crack on each other btw....
