Now that I got the engine running, it's time for some...adjustments.
I'm tired of the jerry rigged throttle linkage, so I use the original Rochester model B carb.

Here's the story: I already had the original carburetor. (see post #7) So I decided to rebuild it. Problem was, the bolts holding the throttle plate to the shaft broke off.
I was getting ready to drill them out and hope to not screw everything up when I found out it didn't fit the intake manifold! I found out the carter carb did, so I just let it be.

But the man I got the fenders from had a 216 lying on it's side in his yard. I mentioned that my carb didn't fit the manifold, and he said, "it doesn't? Let me get a wrench. If you take it off, it's yours." So I got the manifold and the carb! I just finished cleaning up the throttle assembly on it, and mating it to the one I already rebuilt.
What do you guys think of the difference?

Next on the list:
-Replace gaskets
-Do a valve job
-find a way to mount the new alternator/generator.
