Just as slow as before my mods..

You do have a Lokar Kickdown cable. What was suggested was the correct Edelbrock throttle arm bracket as well as the Lokar cable bracket. Just makes things simpler.

Did your guy address the throttle opening?
Let me see if i get right what he said. The reason the secondary doesn't open with pedal to floor, is it doesnt open on with AVS2 carb until driving. I think its what he said.
