Thanx for the info. Very helpful.
When I do this job, it is good to good to hear neoprene seals are available.
Also interesting to note that your oil pressure is similar to mine.
My car is losing oil, about a quart per 150 miles. I'm assuming it is burning oil because of wear. Strangely it does not smoke and runs strong.
I'm not going to worry abut it, just curious.
Does yours lose or burn oil?
Thanx for your comments.

I got my model A carb off ebay. Few hundred bucks for a fresh rebuilt one. My 29 is a daily driver in the summer and with the addition of electric fuel pump, very reliable.

You are right – every avenue.
Capacitor is new as well!!
Distributor cap is the only thing what is not new (don't have it in spare). But a good point, will looking after one soon.
I checked the Valve adjustment as well, they are not to tight. But I must admit to my shame that I haven't done it very often. I checked the valves when they were closed and followed the Owner's Manual for Cyl. 1 and 4.
I installed a new set of plug wires this morning (not bunched together in the wire holder), haven't fire the engine yet (low battery).
The "unusually" is since I bought the car, it was never running quiet good. I haven't used the PA a lot (around 300miles after restoration), but this summer I will have him on the street as much as possible.
You are right 9PSI is low, i suspect to low. Manifold is checked for cracks. Not sure about the carb.
About your 29 - never touch a running system
Thanks Chet!!
PS: The reading I am using is BAR, I converting it to psi.
