How many turns should idle mixture screws be?

Where are the idle mixture screws located on a Holley?
The idle speed screw (arrow 1) is located on the primary linkage. The idle metering adjustment screws (arrow 2) are located on the primary metering block on most Holley carburetors. A typical starting location for these idle mixture screws is between 1 and 1 ½ turns out from fully seated.
What’s the correct way to set the idle mixture?
If after adjusting the first idle mixture screw the engine vacuum drops, then return to the base setting and turn the mixture screw outward roughly 1/8th turn.
