I have been enjoying my '35 and never really noticed since installing an Edelbrock 4 barrel that the stock pedal / throttle mech. doesn't allow enough stroke to fully open the 4 barrel. Probably only opens the secondaries 1/2 way. I never beat the car up so haven't really had an issue. Anyone else notice this. I am using the stock mech. and throttle rod. Thinking the stroke is what it is so thinking to resolve would need to change the diam. of the rotation ( reduce the moment arm to get more pivot ) where it connects to the carb throttle pivot?
