I'm in the garage trying to get this thing dialed in right (289 with Autolite 2100 2 bbl with long tube headers). I reset the carb (1 1/2 out AND 1 turn out for the idle speed screw.

When doing this, I noticed the accelerator pump silver button is further disengaged than the throttle plates. What I need to know...with the idle screw 1 turn out, should the mechanism used to activate the accelerate pump be touching the silver cylinder thing?...mine is not and I kinda think it should.

Thanks,

Dave
