Carburetor Question - Is this a good call?

There you go OP. That's an adapter you can use. That other thing...who knows how it ended up on there. But it just ain't right.

Agreed agreed fully - in the river it goes. Not kidding guys i've been running this car with that for years.. incredible. The primaries had NO breathing whatsoever.. no wonder it acted like an asshole. I'm hunting the internet for that adaptor now and will be reporting back.

Thanks for taking this arduous and irritating adventure with me, all.
