Purchased in CA last week.
Nice condition, decent driver. I look forward to the projects ahead. One question. Upon acceleration I hear a slight whistle coming from carburator. Have done some research and have read that this may be a vacuum leak in throttle shaft. Any input would be welcome.
Thanks,

It sounds like you're on the right track re; the whistling,but try posting this same question in the engine sub-forum,not all the engine gurus check in here.
I'm sure you'll get a better response and help to cure your problem.
Good luck.
Jock.

Hey Kurt, good luck with your new acquisition, hope you can get that fixed and on to other things.
