Been too busy the last couple days to mess with it, but I'm going to find out tomorrow. I pulled the carb all the way off, and took it apart, replacing all the seals and pieces that the rebuild kit came with. All I need to do is bolt it back on the block and hook everything back up and give her a go. If that doesn't work Oreilly's has the same carb, Edelbrock 1406, in town for $260. Either way, she should be running in the next few days. Probably jinxed myself by saying that.

Well I went ahead and got the new carb, though I was wrong on the price, more like $310. I'm going to put her in tonight. Hooking it all up is the easy part. Reading the directions on all the adjustments made me a little dizzy though. We'll see.

IT's running. And sounds good, and when I hold my hand in the exhaust it doesn't get spattered with black chunks.
But turning the idle mixture screws all the way in still didn't kill it. All I can do I guess is take it out and run it to see if it runs strong, or dies. And to see if I'm still getting gas in my oil.
