OK, took the carb off the car and here are a few of the things I found:

1) the cam is def'n a red part #240 which, as was pointed out, is probably wrong for my carb. (no damn wonder my sox never match!)

2) I have some orange ones and a cream colored one. need to check the numbers.

3) The gasket at the bottom of the accelerator pump mechanism was torn.

4) As seen in these photos, the gasket that I have that interfaces between the carb body and the metering block was missing two orifices, so i just poked a hole in the gasket. As you can see, it's not very good. I just fixed this with a real punch, and it looks fine now (not in the photos). Not sure of it's importance in the circuitry.
