Thanks, guys!
All the input helps. I'm trying to get myself motivated to start working on the car again. Getting help on here helps a lot!

I feel like I covered all the basics several years ago. I feel pretty confident that the end carbs are sealing. The only way they could seal any better is if I get some of the DAG sealer from Mike Wasson... or if I used some J.B. Weld on them. Lol. I'm sure it's possible that the throttle shafts have a little wear in them and that could be a source of a small vac. leak. But short of sending all the carbs in to be totally 100% restored, I think they are about as good as they're going to get. ... maybe I'm wrong...??

I feel like I'm at the point of guessing when it comes to jets sizes, idle tube size, and the spring tension on the power valve. I hate guessing!Ugh! Maybe I should get a good O2 sensor and do it right.

Is the Innovate set-up the best one to get? How accurate is it? Are the sensors readily available at a local parts place - ie: NAPA or Autozone?
