Just a note, I had the LeMans bowl too, but changed them out. Seems they can be prone to sticking needle valves. Got home from a drive and found fuel pooling on top of the hot intake manifold. Fuel was pumping out of the carburetor vent pipe.

I don't remember the reason why their geometry is sensitive to sticking, it was 10 years ago.
