Or just get yourself a Bently and a dwell meter and go from there. I agree though, 2 full turns is HUGE. The reason the idle stumbled is because you leaned it so much the car wasn't getting enough fuel to run. By adjusting it back to not stumbling, it just barely has enough fuel to run. I've heard of people doing it the other way, adjusting way rich until the car stumbles/bogs and then turning back. Give it like a 1/4 turn to the rich, then either get a dwell meter or a mechanic to set it right where it's supposed to be.

OMG...

I think I should tell you, that is a VERU BIG adjustment... I strongly 
suggest that you take that thing to a mechanic or shop that is able to measure 
whether a car is running lean or not... If you adjusted this thing 2 full 
turns, and you have never adjusted it before, I can guarantee you that you are 
running lean, which will cause premaure wear and/or overheating... If you 
have never had your baseline set before, I strongly suggest it... When 
mechanics adjust the mixture seting, they turn it prolly less than a 40th of a 
turn... No kidding!
