[TPR] Progress

[Kirby Schrader]

Yes, they can go south with a hiccup... BUT

If you buy a newer carb, it has a modification that prevents that.
You can also buy a kit which consists of drilling a hole in the base plate and adding what is effectively a check valve...

EFI is the only way to go :-) Otherwise keep a spare set of power valves and various jets so you can tune the car for various requirements (altitude, load, performance, economy etc). If using a double pumper carb add springs and cams to that spare parts mix.
