    Same here. I think my kids have a shot at being the first to drive my Comet out of the shop. I'll be too damn broken to turn the ignition by the time I finish it... lol

    I Dont know if you know or not, But this is a REVERSE idle carb. In other words turning the mixture screw in (to the right) RICHENS the mixture. These were emissions minded carbs. They can be made to work very well if they are tuned rite.
