Some may wish for more info on the throttle valve linkage adj runnng th factory carb on thev8 or an adapter and modern carb. After adj the carb turn buckle to set pedal link arm to just clear the toeboard with the carb at base idle non choke as per sve man, remove the t v cross shaft linkrod from the top hole and let the t v rod and arm rest on the stop. Now simply perform the straight edge check as per the svc man on the lower arm then adj cross shaft adj ( labled A in the 55 56 manual) so the t v linkage is just off the stop at base idle. ( you dont want the t v valve slamming against the stop on throttle release). This should put you in the ballpark for the min t v press at hot idle if nothing changed from pump swap. The 3 holes should allow slightly more or less pressure as throttle angle increases off idle as the ratio of t v valve movement to throttle movement can be fine tuned .
