Throttle lever help
Hi everyone. My 75 has a 540 inch BB with an Edelbrock 2x4 intake and a pair of 1406 (AFB) carbs. I decided to change jets and rods to lean the beast a bit. Thats done. In the process, I discovered that the peddle doesn't open the secondaries. It may just crack them, but I need somewhere around 1 more inch of throttle lever movement to get to full throttle. Anyone help with getting a 1406 to fully open with the vette peddle-cable set-up?
Thanks,
Lang

I have a C-66R and a pair of those Edelbrock carbs ready to go on. I have the linkage between the 2 carbs setup, but not on the engine yet. I have mine set so the primaries open pretty much together and about 1/2 travel the secondaries start, This is all on the bench. I'll take pictures, but it'll be a couple of weeks before I get back home for pictures. If you still need them then, let me know.

I should have mentioned that I don't use a progressive linkage. I have great throttle response opening both simultaneously. But I am only getting primaries and a small amount of secondary. I want it all.
