Incredibly helpful as usual, Danny.

But it's gotta be bluetooth wireless.
Oooo yeah! Write an app for your cell phone and do it from there.

That's called EFI...
I love the idea of servos to adjust the mixture and jetting on a carb according to some barometric, throttle position and O2 meter readings fed to/from a phone so you could watch the screen and interfere. I want this to be immediately devised, documented in a three-page instruction manual printed on broadsheet newsprint in 10-point type, crated in wood and shipped to Stanistan.

It's already available online, with some reported QA issues:

Kinda reminds me of the instructions that came with a WiFi compatible door lock I bought off of Amazon:
It came with a Double sided, 8" tall and 39" wide set up and instruction set printed at maybe a 6-point font (hard to tell) with illustrations, it was a thing of beauty.
And it was all in Chinese........
Since you guys are all SCREWED with carburetors, let's get back to the original post.
I don't have a set of the EMPI HPMX "Weber clones" but as I recall they have round-head idle screws. Anyone verify if they're steel as well?
I have the HPMX they are steal. Tested with magnet

Ok, Gordon, you've got me snorting up orange juice onto the keyboard AGAIN! 
As I was getting ready to go to Central America with a medical organization in 1967, they taught us how to give inoculations by injecting water into an orange. It seemed a lot more practical than practicing on a real person. 🙄
We quickly realized that shooting Vodka into an orange instead of water was, by far, more interesting and fun. Try that in your Orange juice - It's 5 o'clock somewhere.....
@Gordon Nichols- We've done that- it works with watermelons too.
And I only put rum in my orange juice in the mornings 3 weekends a year...
This may have already been mentioned, if not, this may help some if their cars fitted with 911 stye fan shrouds. I don't know if they're still available, but I found a set of manifolds that turn the IDFs around so the mixture screws face inward. Required some linkage imaginings but doable with minimal harsh language. Sorry can't be more specific as I did the mod back in 2005.
CB makes the Space-Saver manifolds for IDFs that turn the carbs around. If you order the linkage from them, it works with no modification necessary.
They will fit with a regular VW shroud, but #2 or #1 idle screw is partially blocked. These manifolds are best used with a 911 shroud, as Jim Gilbert, Ewatub, and I have found out.
I didn't order them, but Jake Raby chose to equip my engine this way, and I'm glad he did. Now that I did EFI, the fuel rails are toward the INSIDE, away from the frame rails that they'd surely be up against with regular manifolds.
