Timing is OK at idle and advances to 28-30 BTDC (009 dizzy).  No
leaking out the covers.  I drove the car again today, and it doesn't
so much buck, as loose power under load.  Going up a hill it runs out
of power on the high RPM end of 2nd gear, and then does much better
after shifting into 3rd.  I haven't cracked the carbs open, that will
happen next.
Bob, I have a couple extra 6v x 45 idle jets, you can scavenge the
jets if you want.
