pics please of your holley 1920 set up and linkage

I "rebuilt" it 2 weeks ago and put in a new needle seat/valve and a new diaphragm. I was reading yesterday that if the diaphragm was not torqued down properly on the 6 screws that it would not work correctly. Well, I can't find that torque info anywhere. One of my screws is stripped and I had to use a very small lock washer. a couple of other things I read about had to do with the gurgling and another issue I was dealing with and it sounded like my fix was similar. Part of what I read said to use the thicker insulator to help prevent the gas from gurgling and also it raised the carb enough to allow the linkage connector to not hit intake mani and close all the way. not sure if that is all bogus but what do you think? I'll post my plan here in a minute and give me your input. THANK YOU so much for all of your time and patience.
