She's a runner!

  I bought an *actual* SU carb rebuild kit and re-did the carbs.  Not your average $14 rebuild kit.  It came with everything and for the price it should.
  The first carb took about 1 to 1.5 hours to disassemble, clean, install throttle shaft, take out throttle shaft, install it in the direction the front carb needs, not the back one.
  Install throttle plates 3X (they can go in a couple different ways that aren't right, but only one way that is), look back at pictures, figure how both springs go- etc.. etc...  Eventually got it together..


Rebuilt- new shafts seals and everything.  Note the Throttle plate has no valve in it- it's solid!

New fuel pickup tube orifice.  This part is controlled by a screw on the side that
moves it up and down into the airstream to make the vehicle run rich or lean.

The second carb after lessons learned took maybe 45 minutes...

Slapped them on the car and...

Idle is high with all adjustments out at around 1000rpms.

Need to check for air leaks elsewhere.

After the old girl warmed up, I gave her the juice.  She sounds sweet after 3000 rpms...

Not just a couple seconds after this video was shot- the water pump started puking and the radiator cap blew off.  Steam, scalding water, ow, ow, ow.
My arm got scalded by the radiator cap blowing off. I don't know where the old thing went to.. Probably hiding.

Next plan is to pull the dash, windshield, electrical and drivetrain.  Then set it on a rotisserie for floors and sandblasting.
