Re: [AMC-list] Anybody got a core Holley 1909? Or upgrade? Or rebuilder?

Replying to myself, lol. I decided not to wait for the float. Popped
the carb on and fiddled around a bit. Car starts fine, idles well,
driveway runs well. Haven't taken it out on the road yet - but it
seems fine in the driveway.

Looks like I'm back in business! I'll do a short run and decide if
we're ready for another camping trip or a weekend road trip. But I'm
happy with how the Rambler is driveway running again. Want to sneak
off from work to play with the Rambler, but gotta get back to work.

So - back in business!
