Is this card missing something? Carb was off the car when I got it.

Certian versions of this carb have a temperature compensation device located near the throttle linkage. Mine does not, yours does not.

Looks like someone has had the dashpot cover off. Mine has a screw in the inner rear hole (next to the 175 marking) yours looks like a plug - hmmm...

Hard to tell but looks like you still have auto/water choke. Mine is converted manual and I like that control over things.

The goal - Reliable summer driver interspersed with mechanical tinkering...

How on earth can you see a casting boss in the corner and think it was some PO putting in a plug?

Thanks for making me look again Scott - didn't see the screw head sneaking in behind there.
