Bob,
        It runs perfectly once it starts.  Cold idle is about 1800-2000
rpm and warm idle is 8-900 rpm, no misses, and easy, smooth
acceleration. The mixture is a tad bit rich (my own doing) and the
autochoke is about 6 months old.
        I received a note from Randall about the HEI module, which
caused problems a year ago, before being replaced.  I may pick up a new
one tomorrow and see if that helps.

Thanks,
Sean

Sean,

You didn't say how it ran once it did start.  Assuming it ran ok, I
would
suspect the choke first and the carbs second, (I know, 90% of all
carburator
problems are electrical, but that leaves 10% that aren't).
