Right on Owen!!!! Now that I think of it, when I rebuilt the carb the kit had a "new design" needle and seat that was installed with a certain stack of fiber washers under the seat. When I drove the car it couldn't get out of its own way. After messing and fussing with the carb, talking to the supplier, I put the old needle and seat back in and had to re-adjust the float. It ran fine, didn't stall in a tight turn, no hesitation on acceleration........however it was months before I took the car on the freeway and have not connected the possibility you suggest (float level) until you stated it in your post. Gawd, I love this forum..Thank you Owen. I'll keep you posted.

Regards, Steve......
