First, thanks for all the feedback and advice on my questions last 
night regarding the unequal lengths of the jets with the chock full 
on.

I decided to take the carbs back off and adjust the link between the 
mixture arms.  After a few extra turns on the adjustable link, I 
tried the choke and both jets came down the same amount!  :-)

In addition the car started very quickly (after the carbs filled with 
fuel) and ran smoothly.  After following the procedure for adjusting 
the carburetors all seems to runs well.

BTW the answer to question about the the number of flats several 
people pointed out that the initial setting is two full turns which 
is 12 flats.

Again thanks to all and have great New Years Eve!
