Where does this screw go on the carbs and how far to I back out the pilot screw?

Am I reading this wrong or are you saying to use the a/f or pilot screws to adjust sync? Sync is a mechanical adjustment to make sure all carbs pull the same air by adjusting the position of the butterflies. Has nothing to do with a/f mixture or slow jets which should be adjusted using a O2 sniffer or plug check and wag it?
Yes you are reading it wrong--With the Morgan and I used to used mercury sticks, I adjust the a/f mixture screws with the carb sync by there highest vacuum. I then set them back 1/8 oast their highest reading -- then I sync the carbs with the 3 sync screws.
I am NOT saying I use the a/f to sync the carbs. But your a/f mixtures CAN be set with a carb sync.

That method was taught to wrenchers back in the early days. Shooting for the highest vacuum readings at idle.
