32/36 Rebuild follow up

[752dbl02]

I finished my rebuild last night, using C.D.'s jetting prescription and the car runs great.

But it doesnt seem to run that much better than it did before (i cant remember what the jets were that i took out, i will look and report back), and was just wondering how much better power wise other's cars ran post rebuild with C.D.'s jets.

Also, when i put the new needle valve in, no gas was getting into the bowl. As soon as i change out the needle valve for the old one, fuel goes into the bowl very nicely. Ideas??

If I remember, you need to check and adjust the tang on the float assembly to open/close specifically for the new valve according to the rebuild instructions.

I just switched to CD's recipe last week and didn't notice really any power difference. I swapped from a beaten 32/36 DGAV to a brand new 32/36 manual choke. I haven't torn into the old carb to rebuild it yet so I don't know how it is jetted yet. Power seems the same but the idle is now a thing of absolute beauty compared to previous. Also maybe better mileage but cannot be sure yet. Should be better anyway, as old carb had a pretty bad leaking diaphragm.
