Nice clear picture and looks exactly right, thank you.

Be sure the intake manifold pass through hasn't been bypassed or plugged with carbon.

Be sure the can/cover that covers the spring, that sets on the intake, is installed.
My bet is it will function like new it the complete system is working.

Shoot, now I have to pull the manifold Kidding, it's good to go. I was telling my brother today there must be 20ish parts to a cold start, what a cool system. Once I figure out the make-up of a choke I'd like to learn how to adjust the carb. Better we do it then some garage used to fuel injection & computers.

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
