I was able to do some more work on the car today. When I tried to start it mid-week it warmed up, but wouldn't idle at all. Turns out that the the idle mixture screws generate maximum vacuum at about 3.5 turns out, instead of 1.5 turns. Then I tore down half of the carb to resolve a fuel leak. Hopefully these steps will eliminate fuel delivery issues.

Also installed a new set of spark plugs.

Unfortunately I ran out of time to test drive with the #2 OD circuit wire disconnected. Hope I can test this during this week.

BTW the Autolite 3136 plugs were only $1.59 at Autozone. Cheapest in my area by about .50 per plug.

Thanks,
