One more afterthought. Sitting in this car for many miles I've decided on some improvements, so next trip will be even more pleasurable:

-ordered new seat belts, after 7 years I've gotten tired of the 4 point harness
-vacuum gauge, tested, shows half the correct value, new ordered
-discovered the boot around front part of steering column was not in the right place, fixed to avoid noise and air
-ordered new ign switch, 70-73 Ford Escort for mine
-when coasting in queues the car tended to jump back and forth, back and forth, don't know if I explain this well. Changed the geometry on the carb linkage at the carb to make it a bit more indirect. This of course gives longer pedal travel, approx 1 cm, but that's OK, it was a bit too direct for my taste. Full travel still opens secondaries to vertical. Actually surfed the web to find a solution that's truly progressive with a cable around a cam, didn't find anything
-wheels need balancing
