<< Hey everyone,
 I don't always mean to be a taker, but here is yet another question / 
 obsevation for the group:
 
 When I make a hard stop in the '47-2 it idles down and goes dead.  I've 
 adjusted the mixture screws and that has helped, but I'm close to having it 
 too reved during idle.  No leaks that I can determine, FINALLY.  I hope that 
 it is something simple, the gas filter isn't plugged up, but it isn't new.  
 I've just put a new paper filter on the breather.  I've looked at the plugs 
 and have cleaned them.  Any suggestions as to what I should do next?
 
 Here are the stats:
 the engine is a '53 235.  I've a rochester 1bbl. 
 the drive line is stock.  The engine was rebuilt in 1980 but probably only 
 has <10,000 miles on it.  (It sat alot.)  I'm stumped....
 Thanks in AD vance.

 P.S. Any one know the proper timming , spark and point gappage for the '53 
 235 ci.?

  I'd recheck the float level.
