My service manual references two mixture screws. I can only see one. Should I be seeing two? I have uploaded a couple pictures.

Single idle adjustment screw means you have a Mercarb vs the Rochester 2 bbl service manual you are looking at. Very similar carbs as they have a common lineage and the single idle mix screw works the same . Float levels may be different so if you are doing a full carb service might want to find the right manual. This show set up specs
