I've been working on my carb and it turns out the vacuum leak from the worn shafts is too much. I can't adjust it right and the secondaries are also hanging up. I've been reading another post on a Chevy site about this problem and may have found a solution that I think may be worth trying first. I'm going to Michails Craft store to see if they have any Teflon in the tee shirt transfer department and I'm going to give it a go. Anybody else try this before?

I found the plasticky weatherstripping, the kind you fold in half lengthwise to seal windows and doors, is .005" . Remember to grind off the ends of the throttle plate screws, they are swedged and will break if you don't. I gained 1" of vacuum using the weatherstrip carefully cut not to ever lap.
