Snubber installed, and it appears to shift a little smoother.

I am also going through the process of trying to eliminate a rich running condition. I previously put in new wires and plugs (about two years ago) and checked the point gap. I was unable to verify the timing dynamically. I set it today, by setting the flywheel to the proper point (4 deg BTDC for my car with the HC head) and then inspected the points to ensure they were just opening. Everything was dead on, so good news there. The next step is to pull off the recently rebuilt Stromberg and verify the power valve isn't leaking. I photocopied the service directions at the AACA library on Thursday, so not flying totally blind here.
