Holley (AED) 750 DP Secondary Link Issue

Couple of comments.
I certainly think that this problem could cause your hesitation because it is reducing airflow & fuel when the engine needs more of both.
Can you bend the linkage to fix the problem?
Also surprised at how far the t/blade screws protrude. Would have thought they would be trimmed for smoother air flow.
Yes, it’s been fixed, just bent it enough to eliminate that, blades actually open perpendicular now. And I also noticed how the screw heads and threads protrude. Been studying Vizards “How To Super Tune...Holley Carb” book on that aspect as well as others This AED 750 HO I have is nice, but I’m seeing some shortcomings as I get more into “super tuning”
