Hi everyone

Sorry everyone that responded. I'm new to forums and not familiar with how they work. It is a 69 convertible with 318 automatic that I've had for years and just covered it up. I'm now a snowbird and this is my second winter in FL so I thought I'd bring it down to FL and see what I can do with it. It's been sitting so long that the brakes don't work and it wouldn't stay running when I was trying to get it on the dolly. I used to be good with cars when I was a lot younger so I rebuilt the carter bbd and I can't get the car to idle. According to my Sorensen kit it is the Type III carb and has a vent tube on top where the accelerator pump comes out. Is that Type III carb hard to deal with? I wanted to get it running so I could work on the brakes and do a little at a time. I've plugged up the vacume hoses and still can't get it to smooth out. l've been reading other posts and I guess I should get a vacume gauge.
