Holley carb adjustment question:

[jjl4004]

I was wondering if anyone knows what the proper setting should be for an accelerator pump spring (I think that’s what it’s called). You can see what I’m talking about in this link. Page 10, figure 11. I’m talking about the spring/bolt/nut right above the word “screw” in the picture.

I’ve got a Holley Street Avenger 770cfm vacuum secondary carb on a 396, 60 over BBC with a somewhat mild cam with 10.4:1 compression. I mostly run it on the streets if that makes any difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

0.012" to 0.014" clearence between the bolt head and the arm at WOT.

Just to clarify, there should be zero clearance at WOT. The pump should then be able to compress an additional .015.
