Good Morning All,

wondering if anyone has suggestions on carb adjustment.

problem is rough idling, ok initially but gets worse as car is warmed up, also carbs semm to be loading up or flooding? as initially given gas.

timing set @14-16, check for vacuum leaks, all seems ok, except carb base plates are suspect.

i have service manuels, corsa tech manual, and how to hotrod books

do not have the unisync tool and no experience in correctly adjusting carbs, but have read section in finch book

problems seemed to start have adjusting valves on #1 side, one was rattling pretty hard

can get van to corvair mechanic, probably, but willing to take a shot if i can do adjustments myself

thanks in advance for any advice

sincerely,
