Thanks for the education and for the real world experiences. I try to correct errors of previous owners by reverting to original configuration whenever I can. However, my ol' truck runs great like it is, although the outside of the carb does occationally frost up when first started.

I may add a spring to my next parts order.

>> Where does the "Anti-rattle" spring go?
The MPC lists two springs ... a thermostat spring(#838573) and an anti-rattle spring (#602799). Chevs of the 40s and The Filling Station sell both springs. Other suppliers list only the thermostat spring.

>> How can I tell if I wound the thermostat spring too tight?

> Installation ('54 Shop Manual)

Not looking forward to spreading the opening in the end of the shaft to insert the spring(s).

Thanks for your help,
