With the carb rebuilt and back together, it was time to wack it back on and fire it up!
Time to pick a gasket (two came in the rebuild kit)...
The one on the right matched what was on the car to begin with, but I wanted to try the one on the left as it seemed to match the pattern under the 4GC.
Ahhh... no. With the carby sandwiching the gasket on the left, the old girl would fire, but quickly die and would only sputter along if I held plenty of revs... all the while hearing a MASSIVE vacuum leak.
Left it all for church, then after church dug into swapping the gasket for the one on the right.
With the right gasket in place... muuuuch better! Idled fine, revved fine; all good.
