[Tigers] Idle problem

It's definitely a vacuum leak.  I plugged up all of the ports on the carb
and the port on the intake manifold that goes to the break booster and
nothing changed.  So I pulled off the carb and the spacer that goes between
the carb and the manifold and looked it over really good and didn't see
anything obvious.  I reinstalled the carb without the spacer and it runs
fine now.  I'm waiting for it to cool down and I'll put the spacer back in
and see what happens.

Of course, while I had it idling I noticed that the temperature gauge on
the dash was getting over 225.  I'm not sure how accurate that is and it
never boiled over.  I'll get out my laser temp gun and poke around a little
bit.

Thanks for everybody's guidance.
