He's only five miles away and he sold me the carb anyway. Well, David is in England visiting family, so I took the carb home and decided to take it apart myself again. I had just rebuilt it before this with a new needle and seat and a new bottom seal. I had also adjusted the float before putting it back together. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""> I put it back together again after finding nothing wrong with it. When I reinstalled it, the car started right up. Don't ask me what is different. Nothing as far as I can see, but I must have done something wrong in the reassembly the first time. As an aside I did find out the rubber connectors on both ends of the vacuum advance line from the carb to the vacuum unit on the distributor were toast. They were all dried out and cracked, so there was no advance in the timing at the higher RPMs. Things happen for a reason I guess.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""> Yes I had drained the old gas and put fresh gas in the tank before the first rebuild of a couple of weeks ago. Now I can proceed with the front end alignment. (I just reconditioned the suspension, brakes and steering. It's been 20 years since the restoration) Also have to drain and refill the Datsun transmission with Redline MT-90. An oil change and a valve adjustment are also needed. Let's hope the rear axle seal doesn't leak this time. Being retired is beginning to feel like work. I guess I missed British Car week too. Thanks all for the input.
