Thermoquad help questions

Engine and cam notes:
9:1 compression 340, ported X heads, 1-5/8" headers, MSD ignition, headers and LD340 intake port matched.
...cam is a Lunati solid.(Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 264/272 ;Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 235/243 ;Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .525/.546 ;LSA/ICL: 110/106 ;Valve Lash (Int/Exh): .016/.016 ;RPM Range: 2400-6600)

The rods measure at 67/57/45. They have a 45 section but the 57-67 is a taper. And the jets (can't remember at the moment) are the same as what were used in the stock '73 800 340 carbs, so should be close.

I hear you say I should remove the spring for the rods tree?? And it will work with just the mechanical cam lift.
Since I'm used to the Edelbrock drivers side being manifold vacuum, I never thought about it being timed/ported. So to set idle mix by vacuum I can use the rear port (used for the pull-off.)

Thanks, rumblefish360, this will get me on the right track. Even with the overly rich condition I was really liking the throttle response. Looking forward to getting this thing dialed in!! :)
