Thanks to all that took time to comment. Today was another of those one step forward, twenty steps back days. I removed the carb to install a kit and found the two front studs about gone. One I was able to remove intact but the second one twisted off and so far PB Blaster, Hanson easy-outs and a punch have not moved it. I also dropped one of the new plugs... back to the parts store tomorrow. The carb was clean inside and the gaskets were just dry from sitting for several years. Should not be a problem.

As far as putting it back together as an ambulance, I have always wanted to re-do one like this. When I began to volunteer in the early 60s we were using carry-alls and when I went with my second squad we had 3 of these in service. To find one in the condition of this one that was an ambulance from new was perfect for my needs, plus it was way to nice to part out. It will make a nice parade piece.
