I cleaned up the carbs a bit. Took dashpots apart (those dome things with the brass plugs) and cleaner up the interior and the needles. So now the piston thingy rises and fails smoothly. There was a lot of muck in there, and the needles were pretty crusty.
Seams to be idling a bit smoother now.
Also, when checking everything, I realized the wire harness was going to be an issue with the air cleaner clearance. Also, I decided I really wanted a cleaner look. So I pulled the engine wiring back through and ran it under the dash and out the passenger side. This made the firewall much cleaner.
I also wired the AMP gauge up correctly, and it now reads appropriately.
