Recent work and 2 new areas of concern.... 120-130

In the last few weeks on my 220 I have:

changed engine oil
changed trans oil
changed rear end oil
fixed coolant leak (bypassed heater core, going to be pulling that)
new brushes in generator
and a few other minor tasks.

I think my front wheel bearings are making noise. Howling might be a better term. I couldn't hear it too much until I changed the oil in the rear diff.

Anyway, does it make sense to pull all of this stuff to inspect and repack or should I just bite the bullet and buy the new bearings and races and do it all at once?

I checked my flaps online site, and they seem to be able to get the races, bearings and seals. Do I need all three for each wheel?

Lastly, my idle is really high. I don't have a manual yet so I can't look up the adjustment. I have the stock SUs for a '65. Any advice would be appreciated. I have a a few sync tools I can use too if needed.

TIA

Joe
