pm me your address and i will send you some stainless allens to replace the cheesy phillips heads you have now.

As far as the carb angle goes just wing it and it should be close.

You may also have a problem with the intake seals

Ok so lets see if i am understanding this correctly...i need to make a wedge and place it on the counter

then i lay the carb on the wedge (lay the side that goes into the engine on it

then i measure out the distance i need....and if it is off i just bend the tab till it is right?

here is the pic from the one site that is listed above
