Gar, your post is timely. I had a friend I know through the CCCA come by yesterday and help me take a look and run some tests. After priming the carburetor we actually were able to get the engine running - and running smoothly at that - for several seconds. Which made us suspect that we are in fact dealing with some sort of an obstruction in the carburetor, and not the distributor / coils / condenser I’d suspected. We plan to reconvene today to attempt exactly as you suggest in your step #2, I will let you know if that’s enough to fix the problem. Fingers are crossed…
