Hold out the rotor gods will thank you for this (or just plain say "berkeley you buddy im done" but have to look at the momentary silver lining )

The second kit looks correct. As I was looking at the gaskets in the store the clerk asked what I was doing. I told him checking to see if they looked like 4 barrel gaskets and he said "I dont rebuild carbs" and walked off. I thought it was wierd. Hopefully I can get back on it in the next day or two.

I took the Nikki into work today and thanks to the greatest carb tech in all of Marion SC (On loan to Michigan) it was rebuilt with no surprises. Put it on the car and threw a nine year old kid that was hanging around the garage in the drivers seat to crank it while I did the "please start" dance. It started right up. I let it run for awhile to burn off the remaining ATF. I suppose I ought to start a proper build thread as my next steps are making it fat guy friendly to get in and make sure nothing is going to fall off soon.
