New 12A and now Carb work...

Some of you might remember, about a month ago I replaced my engine, runs great. Idle was weird, so I tore into the carb, thought it was going to be a 'nightmare' (I am a mechanic) however, rebuilding the 4 bbl and adding a block -off plate is easy!
I have an 83 FB, and as far as I can tell, I am the first person to open the carb, it had enough sludge to make the sewer in NYC look clean. IF any of you are thinking about re-doing your engine or carb, I would have to say, use common sense, and do it.

Of course the people on here are awesome about answering questions, I have had a few from time to time as well. I haven't been using the directions I printed from the FAQ page as I didn't even need them, everything is basically self-explanatory as you go. I should have been taking pics as I went along but once I got started it was difficult to stop.

Good luck if you decide to re-do anything on your 7, it's awesome.
