edelbrock carb question
Did you get the carb new? If not, go to the Edelbrock.com web site and download instructions for the carb. It will also give the measurements to the critical areas.
The arm to the lever for the accelerator pump (Thingy with 3 holes) should be moved closer to the carb. AKA inner hole/slot. Also described like; The hole closest to the carb, rear of engine, closer to the main body of the carb, hole nearest the carb or fulcrum/pivot point of the arm. A million ways to say the same thing. (Damn you english languageer guage no wait...nevermind. He he he)
Yes, more shot means more gas.
The rocking arms end that sits over the carbs top plate has a measurement. Off hand I can not remember it. You can adjust the height of the arm by bending the rod that attachs it.
Make one adjustment at a time. Road test the car each time in about the same manor and temp etc... to compare it to the last test.
Also remember that Edel./Carter also has different size clusters or shooters. Those are the little things where the gas gets squirted out from when you pump the gas. You know you can see them in action when the engine is off and you hand crank the carbs lever for gas. The squirters came in 3 different sizes in a package deal where you get all 3 in a package.
I just proof read this and I just ramble a bit. Sorry bout that. lil'tired.
