First thing is your choke is a bit strong.

[khryslerkid]

no,its been set accurately,,thanks

Then why is it almost closed? Does it ever fully open?

I will second the choke comment....if that engine is warm....your choke is all wrong.

For the whistling....start removing hoses 1 by one and capping the input. That will rule out any hoses. Don't forget to do the choke pull off diaphragm hose.

Did you change a base gasket?

Use a stethoscope to pinpoint the noise if the above does not work. Pay attention to the throttle shafts where they go into the carb. Place scope there.

Slightly re-tighten the carb bolts to see if a change.

yes new base gasket.

 

[Macdon221]

ok well try going back to the old base gasket.

Did you make a change from 4 hole to fully open or vice versa?

 

[joseph p.]

Pretty good. Members here fixed it and never put a hand on the car!

Curious…did you switch from a fully open base gasket to a 4 hole and that’s what caused the sound? Or just a replacement of the sane 4 hole?
