You are very welcome!!
To check your idle mixture,
Connect a vacuum gauge to the base plate of the carb, (Not the PCV line) or the intake manifold.
Run both idle mixture screws in all the way, LIGHTLY! don't gorilla them in, they are fragile!
Immediately back both our 1-1/2 turns.
Start the vehicle and let it warm up to normal operating temp.
IMPORTANT! Chalk the wheels and set the parking brake!
If it is an automatic, put it in REVERSE. (that way if something happens, it goes AWAY from you!)
Some people back them up against a tree or something...
Turn the mixture screws in or out TOGETHER, (most of the time in) 1/4 turn at a time until you get the highest vacuum reading.
When you get the highest vacuum reading, kill a chicken over the engine and chant to the Speed God Hemi, and dance naked in the street... Sorry, got carried away! This is just for the Chrysler guys....
All BS aside, that's all there is too it, just get the highest vacuum reading with the screws turned out even, and you are done! Have a beer, unless you really WANT to dance naked...
Good luck, Aaron.
PS, when you get that done, let me know, and I'll go through the jetting mixture proceedure with you.
So many cats, So few recipes....
