Can't help on the theory but Service Counselor 23 #11packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/SC/SC-VOL23NO11.pdf has some pretty decent pictures and the procedure to adjust.

The clearance spec was changed in 51 (SC 25 #3) from the original .026 mentioned in the procedure to .023 to slow the idle slightly. It sounds like you bend the rod to get the specified clearance so as to keep the throttle plates open a small amount under certain conditions.
