On the other side of the carb ( butterfly) there's a screw holding a piece that connects to the choke rod where the choke base connects to the intake manifold. That closes and opens the butterfly according to engine temperature.

Here is the other side of the carb. Does this look correct? Also this Holley carb does not have mixture screws at the front? Is this common? The issue I’m having is that it idles fine but when you hit the gas it bogs down, sometimes even does before it produces power. Can’t seem to figure it out.
Those carbs are known for bad accelerator pumps. While shut off, look down the carb and push the throttle open. You should see a steady stream of gas shoot out of two nozzles. If not a good stream, it’s pump time. They’re cheap to replace.
Here is the base plate of the Holley carb. The 2nd picture shows the model number of the carb. When I pulled it off to rebuild I noticed there was no mixture screws. I figured if there should be some on the front where the 2 red lines are drawn. However the holes don’t feel/look threaded where a screw could be threaded in? Anybody know what’s going on here?
