Default Carb Question

How do I know when the secondaries open up? I don't think my throttle is goin WOT. Is there anything that I can do to check the secondaries while the car is not started? :confused:

Assuming you have a Q-Jet
- Hold the throttle wide open and open the secondary air plates. YOu should see the throttle plates wide open. Repeat with someone in the car stepping on the accelerator to the floor.
- A Q-Jet will howl when the secondaries are open. Do you hear it?

Not a Qjet. It is an Edelbrock 750 CFM 4bbl
