Thanks for the information.
All is back together and test run. It was quite a valuable learning
experience having to R and R the full tricarb setup. And no extra parts when
done! In the process I uncovered a couple of nasty problems. The lower nut
on all three inlet manifolds was missing and a slipped gasket partially
covered the intake for the forward and center carbs. Runs much stronger now,
but I still haven't gotten the carb adjustment quite right. I'm sure that
will come fwith experience, but any hints in the mean time?
