Greetings from Savannah, Georgia:

 I have a 1980 B.  The PO had most of the emissions system removed (no air pump
and other stuff).  The car is running fast at idle ( about 1500-1700) with the
clutch out.  When the clutch is in the RPm's drop about 500.  I have never
worked on the carb but I was wondering what my limitations are on getting the
timing and idle set correctly without the emissions system.  Are there hoses
that must be rerouted or blocked?  Wiring?  I understand that one should not
tune the carb unless the timing is set correctly first.  How hard is it to
rebuild the carb using a carb rebuild kit?   Thanks!
