The fatest part of the rod drops down in the jet at idle; the thinnest at wide-open throttle. Vacuum pulls the rod(s) down against a spring at idle and at wide open throttle vacuum drops to near zero and the spring pushes the rod up out of the jet.
Look for any wear marks on the rod holder to determine where the rod was inserted.

What year BBD? If there is a "tin top?" They adjustable. Got to www.slantsix.org there is a sticky in the engine section. Click on that and there is a video on how to adjust them! Way cool! If you need the stuff from the carb repair kit I can either type it out or scan and email it.

No adjustment on the rods on that carb. Make sure you have the spring under the step up piston.
