FYI, a final note on the fabulous new carb; my carefully derived transmission modulator adjustment has gone to **** and I now have a flare shift from 1-2 and have lost kickdown, both of which were perfect before the carb swap. Modulator has been rebuilt and trans is fine manually.

 Clearly the 1958 TSB-specified ported vacuum connection off the newer carb isn't getting the job done so I guess I'll try manifold vacuum and see what that does. 

Two steps forward and one back. Scarebird discs are excellent.
