The initial setting for the idle screws on a 75 is 1 3/8 out.

Re: Air jet settings 1975 Wing
Thanks for your feedback. I have another question. I set the air settings and synced the carbs, it seems to run pretty good now but above 4K RPM's I don't seem to get any more power it just bogs down a little. My plugs are a little black and sooty so I am running rich. What is the best way to lean things out a little.

As a matter of interest, the idle screw adjusters regulate fuel, not air.
'Impossible' is just a level of difficulty! The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask first!
