Hi again,

I have been having a very interesting problem with the car.  It may run
smooth then miss, then run smooth again,  all this below 2000 RPM.  It
also seems a bit temprature related, it most consistantly shows up after
the car has been run, gotten hot, allowed to sit for a bit, and then run
again.

The carbs are Stromberg CD175-2 and I have put 30wt oil in the damping
assy.  They have been rebuilt completely (except bushes and seals on the
throttle plate.

The other day, after getting the official mixture tool, I was playing with
the air valve (??) and how it was damped.  I found the damping effect was
completely different.  Inspection showed that there were two different
styles of damper rods installed.

one was Aluminum colored with 2 grooves around the outside edge and the
other was all Brass and smooth sided.  The Al. one was a bit longer.

Which of these is right??

On the other hand I swapped them (front carb to back carb), the damping
effect became balanced, and the car idles much better with fewer misses,
maybe I should leave well enough alone.

Ideas????

thanks
