Rolling the pushrods can result in too tight lash. Hold the tip of the rocker down against the valve tip. Grasp the pushrod with your thumb and forefinger and jiggle it up and down until all play is removed, then tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn.

Fuel pressure is on the edge for an Edelbrock carb. Reduce it to 5 lbs. max.
