Now everything I have read says to screw the bottom left screw IN and it will raise the Arm.

I haven't done it yet - so everything is hear-say and not experience.

Here is a link to what I have read...

It doesn't necessarily move the arm up or down, just increases or decreases the distance of the arc it travels on. With the afc off and the plate removed, you can move the throttle lever and see what I'm talking about. I believe turning the screw right will "raise" the arm, per say, to contact the bottom of the plate.

When I move the throttle arm I see the gov arm go forward and under the torque plate. I looked at it with the plate still in. I will try some adjusting and fine tuning. I sure wish I could come up with a quick connect intake... On-Off, On-Off...

Very good point, Ducky. Simplest way to do it is remove the two bolts from the shutoff solenoid attached to the bracket.

Yes, the arm will slide under the plate, if A) you grind your stocker to a #0, and B) you don't adjust the governor arm to compensate. It is a fairly easy process to do. I'm not sure how the fuel filter housings are set up on other 12 valves, but if they're like mine, get yourself a small flathead apex bit and a 1/4" (I believe) combination wrench. It will make life a lot easier. Also, when you adjust the nut, you may not be able to get the socket for the jamb nut in there. Lift the throttle lever slightly, as this will allow a better angle on the nut, than with the lever down. Wish you guys were closer, I'd stop by and help. Some things are easier shown, than explained.

your 06 dosen't have a fuel plate. all you can do is buy a programmer for it.
