Welcome to the list. We can be pretty lively...been comparativly slow
recently...must be nice cruising weather.
Looks like you're starting with a nice '69 there. I'm jealous. '69 is my
favorite year and I'd like an elky to go with my 'velle. Where are you that
you found a car with what looks like all the chrome and emblems in a junkyard?
Anyway, can't help you with the carb question, just saying hello.
Tim.
