Howdy 67122,

I've noticed that you've hinted at excessive noise on your other posts. In order to isolate the noise(s) you will have to be more specific.

You just mentioned that the noise is present when idling. Is it also present when the RPM goes up? Does the noise go away, get worse, or not change when the car is moving? Does it ever change in tone or pitch or volume? What is the nature of the sound? Clicking, clacking, rattling, whirring, ticking, ringing, rubbing, rapping, knocking, or what?

Have you tried to localize the noise? Is it coming from under, over, in front of, behind the engine? Is it coming from driver's side? Passenger side?

You are wise to not touch the carbs unless and until you know how and why to touch them. If the car is currently running, keep it that way by not messing with something you don't understand. Take the time and make the effort to learn what you don't know. It doesn't take long even if you have no one to help. Get the Haynes manual and download the Green Books.

But, first things first; give more information about the noise you are concerned about.
