Thanks for the diagrams..

now if I can only figure out the carb problems. it's got an old Carter RBS w/ a side mounted fuel bowl. car don't go any faster than 10 MPH now and it floods itself out over time at idle. revvs up fine but has no power

I was thinking of checking the timing, just too late to do it tonight.. needle crossed my mind, a rebuild kit came w/ the car in the milk crate full of spare parts in the back seat.. the carb does look very dirty on the inside
