there is a screw plug that hides it that needs to be drilled out.

how is the engine compression? black smoke usually means oil

Don't forget to check your choke, make sure it opens up all the way.

Probably should  rebuild the carb and see if that fixes it.

Check all of your vacuum hoses for cracks and leaks and also make sure there hooked up properly, check the aap diaphragm and also check your timing, all of these can cause the problems your having.

No, 84SoCal.  What happened to the carb off the bad engine?

FYI, I got a carb from this place recently.  It worked great.
