Yes and it is straight sided so no taper at the end as with a standard tap.

I have been caught with both problems, dirty thread and stud bottoming out so now I clean the threads and make sure the stud heads all tighten to below required depth.

If I reuse the manifold gaskets, what is a good stuff to put on them?

If it were mine I would use new but if to reuse I would not use any "stuff".

I just ordered all new gaskets. With the help of Corvette Ron (on the left), we put the head back on. ![[Linked Image from i1176.photobucket.com]](http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x324/landman2/IMG_4580.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1176.photobucket.com]](http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x324/landman2/IMG_4581.jpg)

 Did I say ? I should have said  After finally getting the gaskets ( the supplier had gone to Hershey), I installed the manifolds. Checked the choke and throttle for good operation. Had to relocate the throttle cable. Since my wife was in the garage I got her to depress the gas pedal. Guess what? It doesn't open the throttle fully. All the linkages are behind the manifold. I guess I have to remove it again.

False alarm. The throttle now opens to a vertical position which, to me, is fully open.I started it, it runs smoothly enough to proceed with the valve lash adjustment. Wish me luck.

Glad the gremlins let go of the throttle linkage so it fully opens. You know those guys (gals?) like to mess with us old car folks. Fortunately when we are just about to do something stupid   they return stuff to normal.

Got it so it runs by itself without choke or throttle. Will do another pass with the feeler gauge later.There seems to be quite a bit of smoke coming from the exhaust. I hope it is just oil spray from the valve train and not some other problem. Do new exhaust gaskets cook a bit at first?

Some oil or? is probably burning out of the muffler. I am sure that is nothing to worry about.

The smoke is rising off the manifold.

If you spilt oil on to the outside of the manifold it will evaporate off after a short while creating smoke in the process, dont put your hands where the oil is because you will remove it a lot faster than you put it there.

Valves are adjusted, it runs smooth, quieter but not silent. I need to adjust the starterator, doesn't always hook up. Is the dashpot getting weak? Also on the first ride it stalled at each street corner. Adjusted the idle speed and air. It seems to want to bog down when I depress the throttle. Response isn't instant, I have to back off and feed it very slowly. Timing?
Best Regards, Pat

How is that done? And could that be the cause of stalling on street corners too?

Take off the air cleaner, look down the throat of the carburetor (with engine not running) and open throttle at moderate speed. If you don't see a strong stream of gas from the jet then the accelerator pump is not working properly. Maybe a piece of trash in jet, valve stuck, bad leather on the plunger or something else impeding the flow.
Stalling at corners can be low fuel level in carb.

Sounds as if you may have dirt in the low speed jet (poor idle) or a vacuum leak also.

Starting to sound like a carb rebuild of the rebuilt carb.

I have another one I want to try on, to see what it does. It appears to have a differently shaped throttle lever though.

That indicates that it is for a 1937 or later. Will work OK except the rod may rub on the manifold up when the throttle is opened.

The throttle arm for your car should be straight. A carburetor with a "dog leg" throttle arm is for 1937 and later as Gene mentioned. If you can visually see that your accelerator pump is not working then you need to rebuild the correct carburetor that belongs on your car.
