It runs...thanks

Carberator rebuild completed!
I just put the key in and turned it, roooom; it started on the first three seconds of the starter purring. I do have an electric pump so the fuel was up into the carb. Thanks to all who helped![^][^]. This car always has run fine ,it just would not start cold. I even have the deep sucking sound now when I put the metal to the pedal. I think the back two barells have been silent since I have owned the car. My I love the deep, deep, suckig sound when the car accelerates, reminds me of our 1954 Buick from childhood.

I will tune the engine in a couple of weeks, my schedule is busy ,again, with non-Studebaker fun. I had several problems, floats were way, way out of adjustment, accelerator pump was non functional, and the intake/carb gasket was leaking. I don't see why the car was runing as nice as it did with the floats so poorly adjusted. The secondary float was so far off I suspect those two barells were semifunctional at best. They function now,ROOOOM![8D][:I]
