Current set up 72 jets, 42 rods, yellow power piston spring, outer accelerator pump hole, BE secondary rods and 5/8 screw turn tension on the secondary air flap screen.
Thanks for the setup. Right now i am providing vacuum to distributor from baseplate. I don't have all the pieces yet for the vacuum hose/switch system. The intake i have has an original thermovacuum switch that appears to be in good working condition as well as the distribution block. I purchased the reproduction vacuum switch. I am usually disappointed with repop parts. This one is no exception. The hose kit was on backorder but i have heard nothing from Ames for weeks. I have another item on backorder for several months and heard nothing from them. They don't seem to be the same since the changeover.

I think i am going to use the 7028263 carb. Plenty around and only one digit off from correct one. LOL
