Hey Doug,
Have fun.I noticed when I put the new BG on my car, the carb would be at wot before the pedal hit the floor. NO GOOD! I had to re adjust all my linkage. I tried to use the top hole on the carb linkage so the pedal wouldn't be so touchy, but I could not get the adjustment to work right. So I ended up using the lower hole. I also added a short extension to the rod from the fire wall to the carb!
BTW, do like suggested. Disconnect the rod from the carb, put the pedal to the floor and carb at wot and adjust the rod just short of bottoming out the carb linkage. Then put the carb linkage back to idle and pull the pedal up and see where it is. Which hole on the carb linkage are you using?
