Thanks for the tutorial on the "lift the slide method". Everyone seems to have a different take on that. It sounds like you have a lot of experience with it.

With the new needles if I raised the air valve at all the idle fell off immediately. Besides listening, I also have an analog tachometer hooked up. The old needles I had seemed to adjust properly to a point where lifting the piston caused no increase in idle speed. That's good, right? I also looked at my spark plugs.

It would be great to have an exhaust gas analyzer or better to know someone that did. I will definitely check out Burlen Fuel. In the meantime the car is running great on the old needles with the rebuilt carbs. When I get some miles on it, I will take another look at the plugs.
