Full kit will be in on Saturday morning... swing by NAPA for the kit, 
then let the carb soak for a few hours while I do other stuff.. hopefully 
this'll do it!

> BTW I can get 16 mpg on level interstate if I stay around 60 mph.  Well, 

I *just* hit 16mpg once.. 45mph, 3.73/31s, bikini top.. (45mph because 
any faster and I was freezin')

Previously, I would get 12-15mpg on the highway.. and, as I've said, 
196/4.09/33s = 12mpg and no speed... so the 304 is doing better even now 
so long as I keep from fouling plugs. :)

Thanks, Steve.  I'll let everyone know how it goes after the carb kit 
this weekend...
