No doubt it's a crappy carb. I just like to cover all the simple stuff before I swap intake manifolds. 'Cause, yaknow, if I have the intake off, I may as well pull the heads to fix the broken exhaust bolts. And if I'm gonna do that, I may as well swap in a better cam and new timing set. And if I'm gonna do that, I may as well have the crank turned and get new rings, bearings, and gaskets. Can of worms opened, and the next thing ya know, my truck will be fully Barted. Now yer talkin. 😆fix that shit!

LOL.
I have an R4B that might look pretty cool under the hood, and maybe a spare Torker, or a Performer...

Today's project was to fix the massive fuel leak (that non-ethanol gas is expensive!) that was coming from the fill pipe on the auxiliary tank. Yaknow, the stupid '70s addadicktome tank that is on a common fill with the main tank? What a PITA. Upside down, left handed by braille. Fixed a smaller leak at the carb too, and fixed the license plate lights.

The ol' girl made it to the cruise and back with no issues! Idle could still be better.

The first Friday of every month, the local hotrodders gather to cruise Commerce Ave. like back in the old days from around 6:00 PM until dark. It's kinda cool.

Is there a DQ? Or at the very least, an Arbys?

There used to be a DQ one block off Commerce, across the street from the bank parking lot where everyone turns around/parks to BS. But it's a taqueria now.

Sorry to hear. My Hillbilly wanna-be town has an Arbys and a DQ. I hope you're not jealous. lol
I saw a 58 y/o Ricer pulling his slammed Pastel Green S10 into the Arby's last night. He was the Lone Wolf.

Just tape all that shit up, it'll be fine! Once you get the yellow plug wires installed, all will be right again... 😃
