Had Uncle Max rebuild my 97, what a beautiful Job. Only a fumble finger like me could mess up a nice new carb day by somehow dropping a nut down the manifold when replacing it. After trying all the magnet retrieval attempts to no avail, I spent a couple of hours removing the manifold and there it was on top of the #4 cyl. valve spring. Moral to story, Don't store the nuts on the studs especially if you have 82 year old fumble fingers.
At least I mustered the guts to admit it.
