Incorrect. That is set up by the manual, with the vane blade lined up with the top screw of the gear cover plate, at fully closed throttle.

Edit: https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=23929 has some more info on Corvettes, but it may not be 100% correct for the 1969-72 models, with respect to air cleaner/throttle controls.

Long air cleaner [top-opening] + separate throttle control [both VC-160 type] is correct for the G3 carby on the Corvette. That's what's shown in the pic in the second link in my earlier post.
