As many avid readers here know, @MatthewMcD had some issues with his 40 and was looking to solve this problem. I begged him to try a spare carb I had removed from my truck and when he agreed I sent it off. Today I received the carb back from Matthew along with a great token of his appreciation. I’ll leave it at that but must say….this has been one of the more gratifying transactions in my 56 years of car stuff.

Here in New Jersey my wife and I have identified a fitting term frequently…” it’s the FU me first” state. Driving, FU, me first…shopping FU, me first…restaurants FU… you get it. The attitude can be staggering at times..not all the time ..but at times

Matt, you make up a percentage of fine people who make society a better place. %.

That dog looks very huggable

When our "kids" went away to college (boy/girl twins), Stanley became our child-replacement-therapy dog. That was over 1 years ago and he is getting to be a grouchy old man, like me.

They say that dogs emulate their masters...just sayin'.

Saw a post the other day "I got a dog to get me out of the house and exercise, now we sit together on the couch because we're both anti-social."

This has been such a great thread of perseverance, community spirit and rallying around a problem. When mud is at its best.

Started with a problem and ended with dogs...and a solution.

Glad you got it figured out!!

I guess I need to start a thread about my ‘64 1F that goes 58mph at 4,000 rpms. Might be par for the course with mine.

Several, actually! And I met a new one today!
