'72 Carb is back on, Cliff told me that I likely tighten my bolts to much and that was causing my secondaires to hang open a little. I had told him that I used a digital torque wrench to take them to 15 ft lbs, he responded don't do that and just hand snug them down.
I did this with my hand driver, she started right up with no apparent vacuum leaks. Doing a number of back and forth test drives on my boulevard (to be very close to my home garage) where I got more and more aggressive on the pedal - no problems at all. I figured I did 15~20 foot slams, carb didn't stick. Hope it stays that way!
All during this testing, I'm also watching my Progression Ignition app from my iPhone. Freaking awesome ignition / app!
PS: So nice for Cliff to respond on a Sunday - that guy is aces.
Edit:
New response just now after I reported the good news to Cliff - he responded again. Which makes a lot of sense now.
