Edelbrock carb help

YES! Something I didn't mention. The rod must be re bent to adjust the height of the pumpshots plunger height. Failure to do so can result in ether a pump shot bottoming out or not traveling far enough in which in both cases, the pump shot plunger is not pushing the correct amount of fuel into the engine. There is a measurement, I just do not remember off hand.
If it is to high, the shot can be delayed. And not all of the shot delivered.
If it is to low, the full volume of fuel is never under the plunger to be delivered.

And to think people adjust the rod on the lever but never anything else and then point to it being in the wrong hole.

On my Fed/Mog AFB on my stock 360, I went to the middle hole, adjusted the height, ahhhh, sweet runner.
