The '67 has seen more use this year than in the past, as I resolved the hard-restart issue last Fall (new alternator and battery). I had to get the wheels re-balanced (new tires in April of '13) because more-frequent driving revealed a vibration that started at about 40 mph and got worse as speed increased. Now the vibration is gone, but the new steel balance weights mean my wheel covers will no longer fit. So I'm running my scratched-up black steel wheels for now.
The six-and-a-half-year-old tires on the '68 developed some scary dry-rot cracks, so they went away and now I have nice new Futuras. I took that opportunity to finally install the extra Magnum 500 I bought three or four years ago, and now the car has four matching wheels for the first time since 1997.
The carb on the '68 (stock Carter BBD) has developed some issues--the fuel bowl keeps filling up, to the point that it floods, stalls and forces gas out around the seal between the air horn and the body of the carb. I'll be addressing that soon--check the needle first, then the float, then maybe a rebuild. It's been sitting since the Sunday drive where it stalled in a through lane on a four-lane divided highway and took five minutes to restart.
I went into the carb after I posted yesterday. Disconnected the fuel line, pulled the needle assembly, found nothing amiss there. Hosed down the parts with Gumout, wiped clean and reinstalled. Took the air horn off, which was a challenge since I don't have any needlenose pliers small enough to fully remove the linkages. The float moved freely and wasn't damaged. Took it out anyway and wiped it down, then mopped up the fuel and deposits from the bottom of the fuel bowl for good measure. The bowls looked a lot better than I expected, considering the quality of modern gas and the fact that I'd never been into the carb in the 20 years I'd owned the car. I then put it all back together, started the engine and let it run for a while. No sign of any leaks, no bogging or stalling while idling in gear. So all I did was pull some parts, clean them off and reinstall, and it seems like it's fixed for now. Nothing even looked all that dirty inside. Weird.
