Have know idea if its there or not never touched it. It was just fine till I put a new pump on. Pressure from the pump can blow passed the needle and seat if it's to much. I ordered a regulator. If that doesn't fix it then I gess I'm going to eldbrock
If you go w/an Edelbrock you will have to get there fuel pump which puts out 6 lbs or regulate your current pump to put out 6 lbs. I have one and am very happy w/it. Check this forum for jet and needle suggestion as stock can be a little rich,easy to change out. The Q-Jet manifold won't work w/an Edelbrock and a new Manifold to fit isn't that much and I hear adapters aren't that good, so it's good to go w/ a new manifold.
What the heck it's just money.
