Yep - tiny black cap in the top of the dashpot...you have a Zenith Stromberg carb so add auto transmission fluid....there's a little hole in the side of the neck where it'll run out if you overfill.
Tony,
man you are fast! thanks..here is a pic of my carb. Are ou talking about the white screw on top in the pic? When I remove that cap, there is about 3-4" long metal rod on it about 1/4" thick.

Yep - you have a white knob....but you do not have an SU - you have a Zenith Stromberg! Everything's different - you need an owner's manual to explain what goes in there & how to measure piston action...its totally different from SU's!

Fill the air valve guide rod to about 0.25" of the top with damper lube.To do this,unscrew the cap and remove the damper rod assy.Then refit when finished.
