I just worry about taking it apart so far I can't put it back together. Granted, I suppose that's about the only way to learn how.

What is a "fast" throttle plate? Also have not messed with the air flap but I know that it does open at WOT, just not sure how much or how fast.

If you come to Orlando I will be there. I wound glad to take a look at what you have. I can show you what a fast throttle plate is. And how it works. It is a linkage modification that brings the secondary in faster. You want the secondary and air flap to open as quickly as possible with out getting a bog. Sound like your carb is basically a stock Q jet. Even if you don’t bring the car come out and we can meet and talk
