    Carb adjusting, running rich, dies at idle when warm

    So i decided its time to tackle adjusting the carb (from what my researching came up, its a Motorcraft 2100 or 2150 (i really dont know the difference) it lacks the curb idle adjust screw it seems compared to other photos i've seen.

    anyway, Ive been driving my box for a week now, most times it would smell of gas while im driving it around, and sometimes when its hot, it will die and flood a bit. i tried adjusting it some but i dont know if im doign it right, i picked up a vac guage and it reades 20-21 at idle, somewhere around 14-15 when idling in drive, im not exactly sure how to set it correctly.
