Disregard.
I was able to find these parts at docrebuild.com (for Corvette, but the parts fit).

The shop manual says to remove the backing plate, but maybe there is a way. I'll try again. In the meantime, maybe for future reference, can anyone tell me if the "L" bolts are left-hand threaded?

Thanks 694.1. One of the retaining bolts I think would be impossible to remove and replace without the backing plate off. The upper part of the steering knuckle is right behind that bolt.

Update: After reading a little about the ported vacuum on the front of these AFB's, I learned that most people don't like them for vacuum advance, so I plugged it off and bought a 4-way vacuum "T"...

Thanks for your input Jon. I removed the teflon tape and set the screws back where they were. The idle is knocky and shaky. Nothing I do with the air and fuel screws seems to help. Is the fix you...

I took the carb off and then the choke tube. The tube was in great shape but the gasket wasn't perfect and the bolts holding down the cover were fairly loose. I put copper RTV on both sides of the...

I tried again with a different mulit-meter and got 3.6 amps. You were spot on. So I guess it's normal, but after many hours of that you end up with a very hot alternator. Thanks again.
