The car is idling fine and running strong, without tuning the carb again even. I know UTG is debated and I read the links from slantsixdan and they are very, very useful, thank you! I’ll also check the choke pull-off. Thanks again, Dan!
The engine isn’t at its prime as one can hear (there is a ticking sound which I’m not sure if it’s from a lifter or only the big crack in one of the exhaust manifold legs) and I haven’t did a lot of work on it except changing the oil, filter and coolant since I got it home. A few weeks ago the carb suddenly decided to break down so I rebuilt it. After the first test run I didn’t hear the squeal. When I turned it off and on later this sound came to be, or maybe I didn’t hear it the first time.
This was just after rebuilding, it scared me how fast it jumped to life (bowl was empty, I did not do anything with the gas pedal, just cranked it and it flew back to life in an instance).
