Adam:
I would simply hang the carbs back on the engine with no
adjustments for
startup. If the carbs were never used on your 6, then set the carb
needles at the middle of
their travel.
Set the valve lash prior to start up.
For the timing, I used a volt meter to measure the resistance of
the points
with the crank turned to TDC on the number one cylinder, then rotated
the distributor
until the points just opened with the rotor pointing at the number one
spark tower.
It started on the first try.

I'm getting a lot closer to starting my car after a partial rebuild of
the
carbs, new plugs, condenser, wires, rotor, cap, points and adjustment of
the
valves. I'm guessing I'll need to adjust the timing and the mixture on
the
carbs??? What is the best method for doing this? Also, are there any
tutorials?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm fairly new to this!
Thanks again!
Adam
