so my charcoal can has been plugged this whole time so i removed it.
also removed airpump and capped off acv and airbox.
and as for hot start issues and flooding... got that figured out too!!!

anyone have a good charcoal can cheap???

anyone have an extra acv block off plate and gasket???

also need a vacum check valve(one way?) for choke(that is just rearward of choke assy.

--- flooding/hot start---
when car doesnt instantly startup(usual is 1-2 sec of cranking) push gas pedal to floor and hold till start. prevents hot-start vapor lock and flooding.
