No idea....that is for the air gap....Is the single adjustment screw a left hand thread?
DKI just saw the first start video, It put me in a trance. AWESOME!
The gent who broke in and tuned the motor was tied up this week and will be over next week to do a check over prior to start up....Remember this motor was dyno and tuned prior to putting the motor in the car...I would NOT do it any other way it saves time, money and headaches....
So when I got the motor back I had to pull the distributor, carbs, plugs etc...in order to prep and paint the motor. I marked the distributor and block with a small dab of white paint and later touched those spots up once installed again....The gas was drained from the carb and packed away and later installed.....
Yesterday I put 5 gallons of gas in the X to do a system check for any leaks while pumping the system up....No leaks whatsoever...Today, I put 5 gallons in the X and did a fuel test again, no leaks and the carb was ready to rock....
I couldn't wait till next week.....So I put the key in the ignition and about a 1/4 revolution and BAM...Running like a champ....I touched NOTHING...So what you see in the video is the first start and run.....
Dave will be by next week of course to double-check everything and we will test the trans while the rear is off the ground....
Not the best video, it is from my cell phone....

Hello my friend!On the carb topic... I know this is a 69 but our 4/68 build GTX was single screw. It was LH thread. IIRC the date code was D8 on ours.
Car looks great BTW. If your concerned about the screws you could pull the thumb screws out and replace with the ones from an older carb, recessed screw. They were still adjustable with a very small flat blade.
Darrin,When I used to watch that show, I always looked forward to the episodes with ASM. Sue always cracked me up. Just her accent saying Azz Monkey was/is the best!
Well, Justin, we can all put a face to your name now.

I will agree because we are "Real" car enthusiasts.....You guys look conjoined.
Thanks my friend!I couldn't hardly stand that show but loved Sue... funny lady for sure and talented as well. Really cool that your using her for your seats.
Also nice putting another face to the name.... I'm only 2 years behind you.
