Thumbs down Carb Problem

I just put on an Edelbrock Performer Series 4-Barrel carc. part #1406.

I can't get the secondaries to work and its idleing real fast. I've done all the adjustments and just can't figure it out.

Is there some kind of part i didn't get or something
Its on a 79 f-150 351m/400 4wd. It has a performer intake on it.

It sounds like the choke isn't opening. If the carb is on the fast idle cam or the choke is partially closed, the secondaries won't open.

Make sure the electric choke is connected to the field terminal on the voltage regulator.
