Weber carb and 258 question

Danny Bains did pass the time by typing:

The bolts that hold a carb down are easy to take out. Remember, use a new gasket and don't overtighen the bolts on your new carb. around 36 in.lbs (that's INCH pounds) or 3 ft.lbs. You can put way more than that with just a nutdriver.

Old rule (please double check this) was finger tight plus 1/4 turn.

.. It's been too long since I worked on a carb. You shouldn't have to mess with the timing, just set the base idle and warmup idle/AC solenoid if you have it. Dunno about the mix.

Thanks Bill, I bought it here:

Only if they arn't going to be reused. Take them out carefully, there shouldn't be that much resistance. If it seems your having to lean on it then put some penetrating oil on the stud and let it work. The last thing you want to do is snap off a stud in the manifold.

FWIW.. When you do have the carb off, stuff a shop rag into the intake. That will catch any loose bits that might fall in. Like the old or new studs. (yes, I learned the hard way) ^_^

Thanks Doug. So do I just take the vice grips to the old studs?
