Ran great when I finally finished. Don't have the 57 and more, I replaced it with a 61 Starliner 406. Being a glutton for punishement it has 3x2's on it also. This one took a bit longer because I had to wait a month for some new throttle shafts.
This lowering the primary float sounds like a good idea. It won't cost me anything to try it. What about a phoneolic spacer under the primary carb? Speedway sells em.
