Great suggestions Jon.
I have a drill press and a question. How much force on the downfeed handle?
For now (and until I detect a leak or have to tear down the carb for some other reason) I'm just going to let well enough alone. I will get a genuine Heli-Coil set and hopefully that will keep me from ever needing it.
'57 GMC 102, Original 347 V8, HydraMatic, 3.08 rear gear, added A/C, disk front brakes, HEI, AFB carb, '98 Honda Black Currant paint. T-boned and totaled 10/12
'52 GMC 152 Stake Bed, Original 228, SM420, added A/C, HEI, disk front brakes, '67 Chev 3.55 rear gear. Gets used as a real truck.
