Eric,
I checked the vac break and it holds good. I'd like to get this done asap because Spring has sprung here; it's in the '60s and he wants to enjoy his car.
The numbers are: main body 7043202 FS with a 0253 date (guessing that's late '70 for a '71 model, and I think it's an auto carb rather than a 4-spd)
Throttle plate # 7881
Air horn: cast inside in a circle 4924
Here's a pic of the other side. I'm not doing any "cosmetic" work on it other than cleaning. It's an unrestored car and he wants to leave it look that way.
Any help you could offer will be greatly appreciated. Oh, by the way, the secondary air valve seems to have a pretty substantial amount of spring tension on it.
