Good morning! 33 here as well.
Funny you say that. Going to a friend's house/baby party that's close to the state range. Was thinking about stopping by the range first. Realized it would be a waste of time and ammo. Can't be foucusing on one thing with other unrelated stuff on the schedule.
To the seller!?
There's nothing to go wrong with them other than what Hoppy already mentioned.
Especially problematic can be PV and accel pump diaphrams older than the l980s. Even if they are OK now, they weren't made of materials that can hold up to the fuel changes of the 1970s...
This is the most likely real reason behind the PV failures populalry rumored to be caused by back fires.
First rule of winning is being able to complete the race!I don't think you need a spare carb. For a Holley 4150, the problems will be dirt clogging (very unlikely in your case, with a new sock and filter), leaks, fuel level. Those will all be fixed with a screw driver and spare gaskets. The worst connection to deal with is the bowl connections, especially when using 3/8 feed lines. I don't know how we all get talked into using them. Really unneccassary.
last month when I drove an hour down to Dela City in the rain I smelled fuel. When there was an opportunity to sneak out of the event I opened the hood and checked the usual places for leaks. Ended up being the top of one of the bowls. Tighned the lock screw on the needle and seat. Done.
So plenty of room in the trunk for a few spare parts that can be a pain to get. I'd say yes for carb gaskets even though they are easy to get. bowl, block, sight hole, PV, and needle and seat flat gasket. Maybe also a spare accel pump dipahram. Sardine can.
Maybe a spare alternator and VR, dpeending on the condition of yours.
How did you start the fireplace with a cup of coffee???
I hope you didn't let Sparky start it...
But he does excel at that...

Hard freeze here overnight. It got down to 28° I hear. It's supposed to be in the 60's today and 70's tomorrow and Monday! Gotta love that.

Nice to have ya back Karl
That looks like a nice one. Cheap way to get in the car hobby!
Good Morning All! Well the Mariners won yesterday, kinda surprised, will watch them again today. If they win they'll play Houston Astros at home, been a long long time since Seattle has had playoff baseball in town.
Charge the air? Not a requirement up here or in Franks world lol!

Temp is only supposed to hit mid 50's today. But sunny, and getting nicer each day for the next 3... Gonna try to at least get started on deck repairs.
Morning... Yes, Toronto is -165 right now.... but that's why they play the games.

It's Satellite Saturday!
Good morning
Good morning
Sublime Satellite Saturday
I don't know baseball at all so don't know what those odds are. I have watched this organization put a product on the field for so many years that it's only intention seemed to be to sell seats and garlic fries, never good enough to do anything and we had the playoff absence record to back it up. Well I can't say that now, they were pretty good last year and had the same record, just didn't make the cut. Call me a fair weather fan but I'm supporting them now because they made moves and spent the money needed to be competitive, finally!
I think with that one, if you don't like it Sublime makes it worse. For me, love the wagons! (Esp. Sublime). Last week I was working up the Skagit River, way up by Rockport so in the sticks, you can hear the banjos playing. Anyway I had a Mopar sighting, seen the car parked there twice, will snap a pic and post next week.
