Ok. Carb is back in the car. Started and ran good. The gasket seems a little wet but I am hoping it was residual from my leak or maybe from pumping it to start it because it didn't get any worse as the car ran. We'll see....

Carbs pt 2
just another reminder that even though I have been messing with cars for a long time, I am still very much an amateur. When I put the 67 carb back together a few weeks ago I apparently didn't seat the float and valve properly so the damn thing was just pouring gas out the bowl. So I took it apart again and put in a new float valve (as long as I had it that far apart). This time I think I seated it properly. We'll see....

QJ's are tricky little bastards. You have to bend the tab to adjust the float drop to get the right gas level and shut off function. And how about those funky enrichment rods?
I got it back together and in the car. Im not sure it's right though. Time will tell. I just may have to get it rebuilt professionally...
Sounds like something Carroll may have said!
