The '67 was a little hard to get started the last time I took it out, so I poked around a bit and found that the choke lever was a little sticky. A little carb cleaner loosened it up. The carb was rebuilt a long time ago and works fine. But when I was messing with it a few weeks ago I noticed it is starting to leak just a bit around the accelerator pump and the gaskets so I decided to clean it up. Not a full blown rebuild but new pump, new gaskets, general cleaning.

Is that a Rochester Quadra-jet? Do you recall too that gasoline smelled better then?
Yep, rochester Q-jet. Gas definitely smelled different back in the 70's. But its funny you mentioned that because I noted to myself how my garage smelled 'right' as I was doing this. combination of gas, engine cleaner, carb cleaner, and simple green.
