First of all, this isn't my car, it's my dad's...

He picked up a book that suggested adjusting the mixture on the thing to help fix a rough idle. We found an allen wrench that looked like it fit.. Now the book said that it would click when you turned it.. Well, it didnt.. Turned it clockwise a few times (richens the mixture I guess), and now the car won't start. It'll start up and immediately stall, then every time we turn it over after that it won't catch.. Sometimes it'll backfire. Readjusting the allen wrench back to where we thought it was didnt do anything. Eventually he took a wrench to the thing and now its impossible to turn it in either direction, lol..

Now personally, I didnt know this was the fuel mixture he was trying to adjust.. I'd have taken it to a shop with an exhaust analyzer before attempting that... Anyone have any idea what we may have done wrong here? Sorry if Im being a little vague, Im just not familiar with this car at all. If not, is there somewhere you can point me that I might find out more about this?
