Hey Cliff, A bunch of years ago I did my carb with your book. Made it worlds better. But now, I know there is more. I think I made close to your second recipie with the parts I had avail. But with new engine build, I know it;s rich on low end. Pull vac line off and RPM increases. Want to do a complete go through again but wanting confirm on what to start with for my combo. I don;t have much for parts, canablized some carbs at wreckers so I am sure I will need to order things.
