So I've proceeded a bit more on the carb. The back float bowl was a disaster.
The gasket was really stuck on the carb. I used the chemical gasket remover.
But it wasn't all that much help. And, the cleaner and some of he small
scrapings ended up in the small holes. What a mess. I think I've cleaned
them all out now.
On the front float bowl, that came off and cleaned up easily enough. But the
next part, the large piece that covers the power valve seems as stuck as the
rear float bowl gasket. I'm thinking I might just leave that one alone at
this point. Unless someone tells me it is critical to replace the power valve
and whatever else is in there.
Also, is there some reason my dad might have had the floats really high? The
rear one was a little high from the "parallel to the ground" that the Holley
instructions suggest. But the front one was really high - almost to the top.
