I'll be leaving my kids enough of an inheritance -I'll spend some of it on a couple of sets of tires if I have to. Love the last pic.

The pin is till there. I just replaced the peened in cap with the threaded (and locktited) set screw.

The plug that is peened in to hold the pin feel out - hence a $150 tow call.

Rebuilt 2 Carter pumps using their kits. Quality parts and knowledgeable at the other end of the phone. One note - instead of peening the pin that holds the pump "finger" in place, I would tap and thread and install a set screw. Ask me why I did this.

Cranky is right. You can do your own alignments. When I did my first ever alignment on my 64 Polara, I didn't quite trust my work so I booked an appointment with an old school guy. He knew how to align these old girls. When he put it on the rack he said that he really didn't need to adjust...

Not yet, but that's likely to happen this week. Thanks.

Good point. Thanks.

You are correct to assume that I use light throttle until engine reaches operating temp. I'm inclined to keep off the throttle until then for fear of engine damage.

I think this is the first thing I'll tackle. Thanks.

Plugs read nice. Jets are actually 2 steps leaner (.98) than factory (.100). Engine in question is a 413 Chrysler 300H with dual 1405 Eddies on a Edlebrock aluminum intake. Linkage is set up for progressive action and not in tandem.

Your analysis of the electric choke "switching off" before engine reaches operating temp seems reasonable. My crossover has been blocked off on purpose. I previously had a vapor lock issue and this was one of the things I did to help solve the problem. I'll try to adjust the choke to "hang on" a...

No light weight springs. As I understand it, the adjustable vac advance affects the total advance (while under no load) and not when it starts engaging.

The vacuum advance on my distributor is adjustable via an allen key (Mopar electronic kit). Would adjusting this help?

I do. Currently set at 5.5 lbs.

I have an Edlebrock 1405 600 cfm carb with auto choke. Fast idle works as it should. Issue - when engine is cold and I'm in cruise mode, the engine is surging. At operating temperature, it runs perfect. Carb currently has .98 jets in primary circuit and metering rods 1446 ( .068 x .042). Phoned...

Here's a no cost item to check - your fuel pump push rod - is it worn down? Probably not the problem, but it seems like you've looked like a ton of other issues. I'd check it so you could tick that item off of your list.
