you have to wait 'til it says, "whalla, whalla, BING BANG!" that's when you have to fix it.
 
Anyway back to tools...

Found these today in one of my dad's old toolboxes. Pretty sure I know what job they are for. But I don't know how to do that job.

Oooold school carter carb metering rod tools. And some random files? I assume they are from the same carb rebuilding kit but don't know if they have a specific purpose.

Sounds good to me. The word carburetor is stamped on the other side. I was thinking the files are for cleaning distributor points. So my overall thought was "tune-up" tools. I've never really had to adjust an automotive carb or mess with points, etc. In an old distributor.
 
The only reason I know what they are is because when my dad was in the army he was a mechanic and had a chest full of stuff like that for working on the old jeeps. He would bring carbs home and rebuild them in the basement.
 
I just called my dad and asked him if he has a carter carb tool kit left from the army, he laughed and said he has a wooden crate from the army still sealed and packed full of tools that was suppose to be shipped to vietnam. Never opened. He said I could come grab it.
