Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, when you are dealt lemons, you make lemonaide. I didn't get my mirror installed but I did get the alternator belt changed. It was the wrong one, too long, and I was out of adjustment. NAPA, nope. Farm store, nope. O Reilys? Bingo..

I did figure out why the choke wasn't closing all the wsy. No gasket under the choke coil in the intake. It makes the rod too short. Why didn't they make the rod longer and put a bend in it so it can be adjusted? Adding a thicker carb base gasket could do the same thing. Got to love these old cars.
