Default carburetor question

There's alot of things I can study and figure out carburetors are not one of those. I have a holley four barrel and I noticed there are no idle mixture screws in either side of the secondary metering block. I could have swore there used to be some. I looked at pictures I could find on the interent and some have them and some don't. Can anyone help me on this? DId they fall out? Or am I not supposed to have any?

If you need the specific model to help answer the question I have no idea how to find out, so I may need help on that as well. I don' t know where the model is listed on the carb.

Any help would be appreciated.

I found numbers that match up to a 80670 street avenger. I've found pictures of it online and looks like it just can't see the back to see about the idle screws. 670 cfm with
Needle and seat design eliminates external float level adjustment
Dual feed fuel inlet with vacuum secondary type
Silver finish with built-in secondary fuel filters
Includes vacuum for PCV, EGR, power brakes, distributor, air cleaner, and canister
Power valve blow-out protection adds trouble free operation


If I get batteries later today I will post a pic of it.

You only have idle mixture screws on the primary side on that carb.
