I didn't realize they were going to touch the carby. I am in AZ, the garage is in Iowa. I axted them to only inspect the suspicious installation of my $90 Fifth Avenue Antique Auto Parts gear driven fuel pump and reinstall it correctly. It had been hung on the side of the spare tire well and wired to the starter push button and the car was stalling. The garage removed, instead of fixing the electric fuel pump, installed a new mechanical fuel pump and rebuilt the carby. The carby failed, the car vapor locked and I am currently disputing the $753.41 bill, with my credit card company, I paid that garage to totally screw up a very nice running Chevy.
I now have a leaking carby and a brand new electric $90 fuel pump in a box. But, I still really like my 1950 More Door.

Routine Tune Up Service is dwell , valve adjust and check / gap the spark plugs . I bet they're all gapped to narrow too (should be .035") If not for the goofed up accel. pump linkage , I'da said they found the float too low and raised it back tp the proper level .
