do you mean the main needle that is centered under the dashpot? If so,
mine are straight as an arrow. Did notice something this morning. With
the choke pulled onthe car ran like a champ. Once I pushed the choke back
into the dash, seconds later it started to run like crap again. Is
something stuck or not getting air properly or something?

Subject: Re: '70 GT6 problems
Nathan, My brother in law came to me with the same problem (it was also a
GT6, purely a coincidence!) After checking out many things, I realized
that
one of the carb pistons would not fall correctly in the carb body. So I
went
through the whole jet centering ritual to no avail (although this is worth
doing). Eventually we found one needle was bent preventing the pisotn from
falling. We were able to straighten it by hand with a straight edge and
patience. After that, aligned the jet, piston dropped great, car ran
super!!!
Good luck!
