Performer Q-jet Choke Adjustment
I just realized my Edelbrock Q-jet has the choke cover held on with rivets, instead of screws. How would one go about adjusting the tension on the choke with this set-up ?

Before you drill out the rivets, make sure you understand how to set the choke up. There really shouldn't be any need to adjust the choke cover: The cover adjustment determines the duration of the choke application - not how rich or lean the car is running with the choke applied (in spite of the "rich - lean" verbage in the cover)...
