I can vouch that '67 had a ground wire. I second the potential for a bad ground, even with the wire, that needs to be checked carefully.

Ja, had same issue with dashpots but mine was putting a sealing washer on a damper cap that was not designed to take one so not enough threads were engaged and it kept blowin' off.

You can get uneven damping if one is worn more than the other. I have the luxury (stupidity) of having several in the garage to "mis-n-match" from. Test: lift the piston (engine off) with your finger as fast as you can. The resistance shoudl be about equal. If not, try swapping dampers. If still not equal, try getting another damper or two new ones from Burlen or other supplier. This is a reason why balancing the carbs by watching the piston rise as you open the throttle is not a very good method. Balances them fine under acceleration but not at "cruise."

Hunting and backfiring is also a symptom of false-air (a "vacuum" leak in the carb or intake tract).
