Josiah . . . that carb page is really good! I like the picture of the hammer pounding on the carb and the guy's description of what a pain the metering rod / accelerator pump was to set up, made me feel a lot better!
I'll print out the sheets and see how it is supposed to be done.
As far as the #5 intake goes, I didn't pull the pushrod out like I did on the #1 cylinder, but I did rotate it and it appeared to be straight, I am going to pull it out and see if the end is round like it should be or if it is all beat to heck. I am amazed at how much more power the old 216 has with the carb rebuild and valves properly adjusted. . . I am backing UP a hill with 6000 - 7000 pounds in the bed and it doesn't even grunt!
