No carburetor work done in the last days, but I did get my metal valve stems installed and the wheels and hubcaps are back on the car. Looking a little more classy with hubcaps all around.
Wes, thanks for the link to the carb training manual. It is always good to read that stuff. My last deep dive into carb work was on the Solex carbs in my Porsche, and they are rather different. No metering rods, and no choke with the solex carbs. I'll get back to the choke stove and starter switch check next.
I think I will also install a vacuum gauge in the car. My plan is to tap into the line going from the intake manifold to the fuel pump. I have to see if this is an appropriate place to mount the vacuum gauge.
