Carb adj. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was messing with the A/F adjustment earlier. I have an 1806 Edelbrock (same as 1406 with Adjustable Valve Secondaries & 650CFM). If I turn the A/F screws in all the way, there is little or no change in idle at all. This is with both screws turned all the way in. I adjusted the floats, but no change. I yanked out the #1 cylinder spark plug a couple of weeks ago to set the engine at TDC to adjust the valves, and it wasn't fouled or looked like excessive fuel at all. I guess what I am asking is: Do I need a fuel regulator?? BTW it is a 350 with a recently replaced fuel pump...
