One other note... When I removed the fuel inlet nut on carb #2, a fair amount of gas liberated itself from the carb. This did not happen with the first one. Any significance?

As for the driving, when I hit the gas at low speed, it almost seems like the engine stops running for a moment... One second you hear the rumble from the exhaust, then you don't for the next few.

Sorry for all of the posts... Just trying to identify the issue before I determine whether or not I need to enlist the help of a mechanic. After the cost of an R12 charge on the AC, I'd love to save some $$$. Thanks!!!

Ah ha... So, what is the remedy. Need to take the carb apart and clean? That would be something I've not attempted before.

Correct.... and you can test when apart....

hold the top in your hand and push up on the float...closing the inlet valve

Blow in the fuel line... you should not hear any leakage...

if you do.. clean and retest... or replace.

Thanks again, Matt. Is this a fix you'd suggest someone new to carburetors attempt, or find a pro? Don't mind getting my hands dirty, but don't want to cause more harm than good.

Last question... I am guessing I'll want a rebuild kit on-hand before I dive into this. I see several available from Clarks. The carbs were both professionally cleaned/rebuilt about 18 months ago... Knowing that is there a set recommended for this project? (Gasket only, Minor, Deluxe, Super Delux.)

Thanks again... Wouldn't have gotten this far without all of the help!

Autozone should carry a basic rebuild get. It's the one I always use.

Update... The passanger-side carb has been removed, cleaned and put back in the car. Noticed upon disassembly the pin (hinge?) was missing, so I am sure that didn't help. Must have been that way since its last rebuild in early 2010!

Car is running better now, but still trouble with timing. Further investigation suggests the distributor is in need of refresh (weight springs are shot). Swapping a rebuilt one in today. Hopefully this does the trick!

Next up... Replacing the rear engine mount. Looks bad enough it's starting to draw unsolicited comments regarding its condition.

Thanks all for your help!
