1st and foremost, you need to understand how to set a TV cable. IF you stick with that carb and TV cable, then you can use the factory TV set procedure. Tighten the cable up several notches by pressing on the bronze colored tab and pulling back on the cable. Then snap the throttle to full throttle by hand quickly. This will reset the TV cable - verify that there is still some tension on the TV cable at closed throttle and you should be OK. If there is not any tension (loose), the you'll need to redo or let us know and we'll give you different method.

Then on to the throttle cable. You need someone n the car to step on the throttle to WOT (with the engine off). Once they get the pedal on the floor, the you push on the throttle to try to open it farther,. If it will go farther, then you need to tighten up the cable. I'd guess from the looks of it that it will go further. You tighten the throttle cable by either shortening it or moving the the mounting bracket farther away from the carb.
Thank you. I will try and do that after work today

The top one is the throttle, fix that first like the others have said

Disconnect the TV, get the throttle right (personally, I'd remove the carb and make sure the transfer slots are right FIRST), set the idle speed, hook the TV back up and set it. Basically, you need to start at square one for proper carb installation and setup. https://www.jegs.com/InstallationInstructions/300/350/350-1406.pdf
Then report back with the results. It's not terribly difficult, but needs to be done properly to get the most out of it.

Dont be sad !!!! We all had to learn how to do it.

The important thing is to ask questions like you did and try your best to do it.

No adjustment for anything that I can see....except for the little bracket pc for the THROTTLE cable....but that's just left to right adjustment..not front to back....

.........if the bracket that's on the car doesn't offer an adjustment and is possibly the incorrect one.... how can I do it right?

Am I going to be able to put the carb on and attach the cables and be good to go? Or do I have to reset the tv cable and other sh*t?
