I managed to rebuild the Carter AFB carb on the 56 today. The secondaries were frozen closed and it took forever to get the thing clean. Started right up but the float level was too high so I turned the idle up to at least hear it for a minute then shut it off a reset the floats lower. Started it back up and it purrs like a kitten. Sounds awsome. The needles have fallen off the gas and temp guages . Headlights don't work but the rest do. Horn doesn't work. Clutch pedal is up almost against the dash. I tried to put it in gear but it grinds. Probably the clutch is frozen to the flywheel. If I get brave I will start it in gear. You can stand outside the car, hit the key and it fires right up....Ahhhh.....Oh yeah, it smokes like Crazy...Gee I wonder why..
