Just had a chance to look at the photo album of "Miss Agatha", great pictures and excellent work. It does always seems that there's one more thing to do, fix or correct on these projects though.
Judging by the work you've done, Miss Agatha will be wearing high heels and furs when she's strutting her stuff.
Makes my 1959 BE look like a poor cousin from the wrong side of the tracks!
Future Goals:
(1) Retire
(2) Fully Restore 59 Bugeye

Jack, is there not a spring (#18 in VB pp86) in the H1?
One area to check for a vacuum leak that is often overlooked, is between the manifold and block where the "locating ring" fits. There is a gap in the ring that has given me a problem or two in the past! One way to find a vacuum leak is to use a propane torch, unlit, around suspect areas. If an increase in RPM is noted while applying gas, you can pin-point a vacuum leak!! Goes without saying...NO SMOKING!!
