Default Carb Tuning

Hi guys, new to this so here goes. I have just purchased a 76 escort van with a 2.0 fitted to it to do up as a project. I have been trying to work out the carb but can't find any information on it. It has a tag that is stamped as this... Weber 76HF ABA A9A19. I am trying to find the air fuel mixture adjustment if it has it. I have found two screws, one either side of the float bowl that appear similar to those I have seen on the four barrels fitted to v8 engines that allow you to adjust float level... That's what they look like anyway. Adjustment in or out does not seem to make a noticeable difference so I am wondering, what do they do, what is the carb type and where do I find info on it?
Any info is appreciated

Thanks

Weber 32/36 DGV

Two 'screws' you have been playing with are the idle jet holders

HUGE amount of info out there for these carbs - search internet for 'Weber 32/36 DGV'
