'67 with a Carter AFB is not happy. No start

Quoting Greg Graham <gregtx@xxxxxxxxxxx>:


The not perfectly fitting gasket would not prevent the car from starting, but 
you do need to clean it up and remove all gasket material from obstracting the 
air flow.

I would suggest you buy a can of starting fluid (ether) and see if the car will 
start with it.  If the car runs on starting fluid, then certainly the carb is 
not functioning.  If the car does not start with starting fluid, your problem 
is ignition.

By the way, a properly functioning carb should be smelling gasoline when you 
pump the gas pedal many times.
