    Denny, I'll definitely give that a shot.
    This morning (before I read this) I readjusted all the valves. They were rather loose, although not terribly so.

    It does feel better, but it still likes to pop a little on acceleration, not nearly as bad however. As for the secondary float level, this carb has sightplugs, and the fuel is sitting right at the bottom of the sight window.

    Pope: On the third set of plugs (Bosch, then Autolite AR133s, now Accell 576s) all gapped correctly, and switching to HEI required a new set of wires (Set from the old motor, then Accells for the Points, now Accells for HEI). Sigh.

    Let's pray the you're valve adjustment technique clears this up, I'm getting ready to trade this thing for a 90's ford escort, hah. It would be nice to punch this thing from a dig and light them up

    Thanks so much for all the help, even if I don't fix this glitch, I'm learning a great deal

    -Rob
