Default 58 WCFB 2x4 2nd Idle Adj By-pass Screw

Hi All:

Service bulletin show secondary idle adjustment by-pass screw located on base plate drive side. This is in addition to the mixture screw located in front of Carbs and idle speed screw on side.

Which Corvettes & Years have this feature? My 1958 2x4 do not have this.

Thanks,
Eric

My early 1956 2x4's both have the secondary idle adjustment by-pass screws.

ONLY the '56 and some early '57s (or so I have been told) had the idle air bypass feature...
Your '58 should not have this in either carb (dual quads)...

This is correct.

This was only a 56 2x4 feature, BUT, apparently some well documented VERY EARLY 57s also had the secondary screws.
