Excellent!!

Thank you both for your help gentlemen. JA - Yes, please email me that manual if you could. Send it to [email protected]. I have already set Todd up with an email address and if you would like one as well please PM me with the address you would like or just include it in the email.

Here are some shots of my carbs. The car was actually driven until 2002 when the owner came ill. The flap isn't actually stuck, it just doesn't have the tension a spring should be providing to keep it closed. I suppose you could say that it is "stuck" open. Just sorta flaps there with no resistance. I looked to see if a spring had come disconnected, but that was while it was still on the trailer. It is coming off this weekend and is going to Grand Rapids. I work for the Air Lift Company and one of our regional salesmen is very good friends with many members of The Relix car club. They have a garage night every other Friday and all 20+ members go to town getting stuff done to the project of the night. I went out and helped with his 55 Chevy 2 door post a while ago. The guys are pumped to work on such a unique car. Anywho...

Thanks again for your help guys. Take it easy.

Once the tank is cleaned out and pressure tested, gotta make sure the fuel pump has 4-5psi?
