ok, so alot of you know that ive had problems with my car in the last month...and i hope ive fixed it now. i got my hands on another carb...and im in the process of cleaning/rebuilding it. ive already removed the vacuum lines off the car, so i shouldnt have to worry about any lines getting forgotten.

is there anything that i should consider/look out for when im taking the old carb off/putting the new one on?? i never took the carb off in the first place to remove the vacuum lines...so this is a first. any help would be appreciated.

i have a manual...and ive read it...but it seems to go all different when you are doing it yourself and not have like 20 people there to take pictures and write down what you've done. thanks for the input though.

I think it can mess up your float needle.
