Idle variations update

Last fall I posted that the idle varied on my 55 400. It turned out that the problem was caused by an improper wire spring clamp on the vacuum feed at the rear of the carburetor. Changing to a modern band and screw type solved the problem.

So the old spring clamp was causing it to leak? That's been my concern with the sitting clamps on the '56... Not sure they are holding tight enough to prevent vacuum leakage.
