Heavier throttle (mostly) issues

Cliff Ruggles:
Your kit has a high flow solid fuel inlet seat which is correct for that carburetor.....Cliff

Ok, cool, so it just looks different and has that springy plunger thing and no slots because it is a better part, correct? Or could my needle/seat be stuck somewhere (or did someone remove it entirely)?

Just wanted to double check. I saw a white piece, I think I saw it referred to a secondary cam or something? Couldn't find where that goes - perhaps I missed something in disassembly? Everything else looks to match something I've taken out, which is good.

MP81:
Also, something I keep forgetting: Will I need a dwell meter to get this carb dialed in, since it is "electronic"?

MP81:
Just was able to pull all the epoxy off the plugs, so it's pretty apparent those are probably still leaking.

I see no way to remove these, is there some "easy" way? I won't have the time to tap and install plugs, unfortunately.

What epoxy should I use to cover them (and if they're removable, put in between the plug and where they go, so they stay in place)? I believe I saw Marine-Tex recommended before (JB weld makes a petroleum-resistant Marine epoxy now, too)? Of course nothing like that seems to be available locally, and tomorrow was going to be my full rebuild day, since this thing needs to be back on the car Saturday morning, so...

MP81:
Just sprayed some water where I thought I was supposed to with soap water over the plugs and didnt even see the water move. Hmm...
