Now turn the tension screw clockwise until the AV flaps just close shut. This is considered the "0 tension" point. If you are setting your carburetor to OEM specs you will turn your AV tension screw the specified amount of times either tightening or loosening from this point.
If you are going to tune the carburetor yourself then just tighten your setscrew down at the "0 tension" point. Now comes the fun part.
As always, make sure your car is warmed up. It is always important to make sure your timing is set to optimal and your ignition system is up to date and operating correctly.
When the engine is warm go for a test ride. The purpose of this testing is to correctly tune the secondary operation under WOT. With the car at a complete stop stab the accelerator as if you where at Pomona with John Force in the far lane.
If your car bogged (sputtered and then picked up) you have 2 options available. Ideally you should step up to a richer secondary rod pair. This will provide you with more fuel to overcome the bogging lean condition while providing the fastest AV opening rate.
If you do not want to change the rods, you can go ahead and adjust your AV tension clockwise in 1/8-turn increments until the bog goes away.
