You cannot set the newer style needles like the dvd with Grose jets. You have to hang them upside down from your picture above, actually right side up. I fooled with mine for many months before I realized this. A lot of other guys have run into it too. The newer needle jets are so sensitive they won't hold the weight of the floats like the dvd shows. First off I would straighten the float tabs back into shape. Disregard the red circle. The tangs should look like an upside down slice of cantaloupe not like a ramp. Then hold them right side up and blow through fuel bung while pushing the float upwards. Have something that is .55" wide and hold it against the bottom of the lid. When you are at .55" you should not be able blow any air. Valve is closed. That worked for me. I got bored last winter and did this to make sure they were right. The 10mm down seems to be the easiest and most frequently used way now. I've never done it but here's @jonathanrussell method, sounds simple huh? Regarding adjusting floats....personally I think it is the most important and tedious step in getting the carbs working right. Bending the little tabs one way and then the other in an effort to get the float set just right is insanely frustrating but worth the effort. My personal preference for setting the floats is to remove the bowls, turn down the mixture screws 10 turns, and set the fuel level so that the convex meniscus fuel bubble sits perfectly even with the top of the nozzle. Once you get this accomplished, in my experience, you are able to freely adjust the mixture down to 2.5 turns and then detail adjust using Color Tune or similar. This technique has been documented multiple times on this site and others, fyi.

No I haven't. It's the same one you and I talked about a few years ago. If I remember right you rebuilt an E88? Anyhow I want to do this before too much longer. I have all the parts just no time and the OE E88 runs great on there. Theses were all Schneider had is what they told me. I have an idea of what to do to get them down but always listening/reading for a better way. Andreas, aka Moelk, installed the same one as.mine. i think he used 175s. I'll get it one way the other just not wanting to start a lash pad collection. Thanks for helping over the years. You have done some nice work.

That is nicer than my house!

I bought a cam kit that came with 190s. It's a .460 lift. Thank you for your reply.

Did you have to remove any material off the 190 lash pads? If you did would you mind sharing your method? Thank you Steve.

Did you go with #918? That's what i have and it has a brownish tint too. It looks darn good though to me. Here's a shot of mine right after a cutting and wax.

What about straight diesel fuel? It's oily and not as strong as break fluid.

Pucker? I know you don't want to kiss one! You couldn't drive a sewing needle up my arse with a sledgehammer when those underground yellow jackets are hovering about.

A wasp nest surprises me more than anything nowadays.

That's great Charles! I tried to find that brown one that sold about 6 months ago. It was a time capsule too.

Touchdown!

Good advice! I can't wait for the photos, I'm a very bored guy. The carpet/jute will be my tell. 9/76 original carpet even with rear louvers.

You hit the jackpot I think. Looking forward to more post on this car.

My 9/76 is HLS30 355834. That looks like 901659 but my eyes are a little worn. Maybe it's 301659.

Nissan has them. Bought these a year or so ago. Call and give them these numbers and they can tell you if they're still available.

I do dry for that reason, potential of clogging a hole. There's a thin sealer that would work if you want to use some. I use it on all other gaskets just to hold them in place.

@Firepower Is one way. He'll get an email hopefully. Good luck.

Or get a big syringe and stick it down into the reservoir and pull the air out. Done it this way for many years because it works. Syringes can be bought from a veterinarian's office. Edit: not necessarily big but with a long tube.

You forgot the #1, Walmart.

No,no. They are about to reopen the abandoned manufacturing plants in the states. No more from Shina.

Sounds like you have some knowledge to add to me. That's all I was saying. Not an expert.

There's some horrible road construction going on around "malfunction junction" in Birmingham, where I-59 meets I-65. Go slow and watch out for those temporary but humongous road patches. Enjoy the drive. Be sure and find our two Jims from Arkansas, they know Branson well and are super nice guys.

I'll tag Madkaw in a couple of hours. He recently did a restore of a similar car and would be better able to give you a current value. I get up too early when it gets this hot.

Oh no, similar color combo. Mine lives in Baton Rouge. I talk to the owner before every LSU vs Alabama game. Good luck with your sale. Cliff

Yeah, the one I sold for $6,500.
