Fred,

Thanks.

I re-read the procedure and wanted to add something. I am concerned with putting too much force on the carb mounting bolt threads /
manifold / engine / GMC floor. I'm not sure if the following would work but it might be worth a shot to see if and when the engine
moves upwards.

Take a small bubble level and sit it on the carb mounting face. Watch it as you tighten the all thread nuts; I believe as you raise
the engine the bubble should move and as soon as it does stop tightening the nuts. If you have a smart phone they have free apps for
this, I run one called Bubble Level from BRL Technologies on my Samsung.

Regards,
Rob
