Question Idle Screw for a NW 90mm Throttle Body

Anybody with a Nick Williams Throttle Body know what size the Idle Screw is that goes throttle body blade?

At some point yesterday mine must have vibrated loose and fallen (not sure how) and now I need to replace it b/c I can't find it. Without it, my Throttle body now sticks, and cold starts in an cammed A4 are a little bit harder now.

Anybody know?

I had problems with the 416. Nick had problems getting it tuned correctly, and did not even charge me. Pulled the heads and found pretty deep vertical scratches in cylinder walls. Also the head cores had shifted and valves were leaking. People I got the short block from took it back and said there was trash (metal) in the motor. They cleaned it, honed the cylinder walls, put new rings and bearings in it at no chrg to me, but I had a bad taste in my mouth if you know what I mean. So, I sold it and built the 427.

I broke the bank and got the best stuff I could afford. Thank god it turned out good! I have not dynoed it yet, but plan to take it back to Nick soon. I have a guy who is helping me with some idle and drivability issues, then we will see.

Now I don't have any money left to buy gas.

Did you get your idle screw yet?

Funny you should ask. The envelope came yesterday, but when I checked it the screw must have put a hole in it and gotten lost somewhere thru the poastal service.

I talked to Ken this morning and I offered to pay for them to put it in a box and send it UPS to me. I think it'll be another couple days and I'll have it.

Hopefully the 2nd time will be the charm.
