Fuel-starved on startup? - It workie! 120-130 1967

Good news...it workie! It was still idling fast, and so we adjusted the air and idling on the carbs and it looks to be running well. No hesitation and the engine is actually the quietest I've ever heard it, hehe.

When I bought the car a couple months ago, it was already idling pretty fast. I basically learned how to drive stick shift in this car, and it was was pretty easy to get into 1st gear without stalling. Tonight, after the final adjustments (still needs balancing by a person who's more a pro than I, but that'll come later) the car drives like a totally different automobile. The lower idle means I have to change the way I hit the gas and release the clutch, and I stalled right off the bat. Ah well...I guess it's better that I learn how to *really* drive a stick as opposed to something that was based on bad tuning. :)

Anywhoo...thanks again for the help, guys.

- Dan
