Looking good, you should consider polishing up the carb body while you have it off the engine, it will make the painted parts pop

side note, you can use Microsoft pictur manager and compress or resize the pictures to make them a better size

thanks...had a few moments when rebuilding when i was like frustrated but nothing but a few hours playing some call of duty black op wont take care of....and i threw the carb on the car today and hooked it all up and the thing started right up....more power response then before and smoother...now i wait for my dad to get home to help me finish tuning cause its a little hard tuning with one person

Probably a vacuum leak. If we can hook up this weekend, I'll take a look at what you've got going on. Bring it out to Rogers High School Friday night if you can, or I may be working on the car tonight/tomorrow evenings, so shoot me a text if you like.

The event at Tail of the Dragon is in April. But there is the Blue Ridge Rotary Run in October, which I am considering attending.
