Hey guys I am not very familiar with Holley’s and carbs for that matter. I am in the process of getting my 340 running again but have some questions on my carb.

Is the lever with the black spring that I am pointing to connected to the throttle linkage the secondary throttle body control?

Your missing the rear set screw.
Is there a decent parts diagram that can identify that rear set screw? I don’t know where or what screw that is.

Also the idle set screw doesn’t engage and there must be a reason. It is like it’s 3/8 too short but I know that it’s not. Does the carb need something to bring the idel set point farther up or something?

Yup the AF set screw now I know what you’re talking about! Thanks! It was in there must never been set right bc it must have fallen out….
Pretty sure there should be a cork O ring that goes on/in with the screw

Look into the hole really good. A lot of them have the hole but it's not finished and drilled all the way through.
 
Yeah, if it's a 2-corner idle deal, it won't have idle mixture screws on the secondary side. Pretty easy to tell if you look at it closely.

edit - or you can look up the list number to see if it's supposed to have 2- or 4-corner idle adjustment.
 
I forgot to mention your throttle linkage is fine. You only need the aftermarket lever if you can’t get the kick down linkage hooked up, if you even use it.
 
Welp I can’t get a paper clip more than .25” in the hole so it looks like it’s not a four corner after all.

Can you guys help me understand the other issue I am having?
 

The other issue I am having is the that the throttle is not making it to the throttle stop screw. No where near it actually.

It’s not any of the cables or linkages as I have disconnected them all. Still will not hit the throttle stop screw which is turned in all the way.
