Guess what I get to do.
I don't know whether I'm old enough to remember, or gotten old enough to forget....................
Boy do I hear that.
I frequently wonder what I don’t remember.
BTW, the carb body thread repair went perfectly.
I used my drill press to gently drill the holes so I could be sure the holes were true.
Tape over the body surfaces kept shavings from getting in all the exposed passages.
Then took the belt off the drill press drive and chucked up the tap, then ran the tap in a few threads turning the chuck by hand then finish the tapping in the house.
After rinsing and blowing the oil out of the new threads in the carb body I installed the heli coils and finished assembling the carb.
I could have installed it back in the car today, but decided to put it back together tomorrow morning when there isn’t a 35mph wind like today.
The engine is covered till then.
