When you get the carb I'll steer you in the direction of a Carb rebuilder who reconditioned both my DCOE and Pete's Dellortoes He's awesome

If you decide on the 44 IDF i have (sorry yet to finalise), it's done bugger all time and is jetted pretty freaking sweet for that engine. I'd say all you will need to do is (maybe) go to 150 mains from the 145's (they were borderline at sea level) and juuuust richen the adjustable idles a fraction.
deal done guys...Preeny came up with a good deal on the orig. set-up that used to be on this motor for a damm sight better than some of the other offers out there !!! I p/u the car from exhaust place tom. morning with new rear sports muffler...watch this space
