Matthew, The metering rod and jet numbers I have written on the top of your carburetor. Save this information to your note book. if any better combinations are noted you will know your starting point of adjustment.

Matthew, I can't believe you put a can of Sure Grip Lubricant and a 59 carb on my carpet floor in the guest bedroom! Hope it did not leave a stain or you will be in big trouble once Pam she see's it!
LOL
At least you did not try to rebuild a tramsission up there!
Be back from Chicago tomorrow...

That was just for the picture
it was on plastic all the time and the carb in the box.
I'll be still in Philly tomorrow.
Rick, you've got a pm!

Matthew; Do not keep limited slip lube in your trunk without a protective container, if it leaks out the smell is excessively pungent.
Will not impress the girls. Beond musk, right to the stench.

Hey John Q. - Isn't there a post somewhere that a certain SF convertible is loaded with a considerable amount of Belvedere DNA. Just asking??

Wow! I just think of poor Vic Barone down under, paying his bodyman a king's ransom to have his header bar re-constructed.
You have an exceptionally rare piece of hardware there, Matthew! Guard it with your life! Put Bode on patrol!

All the parts that won't fit my suitcase are going into a container that is shipped to the Netherlands.
I am keeping everything as spare parts.
These parts are hard to find here but impossible to find I Europe!
I have myself on guard here

Excellent find, Matthew!!
It took me a year and a half to find a good header bow, and it cost more than the car did!
The rest of the steel pieces I will have to probably make, as they are so rusty. Luckily I met some Swedish fellows that crafted the other bows, so I have them on hand now.
