| Re: CCC carb tools and MC solenoid plugs In lieu of the TPS adjustment tool, I've always used an appropriately sized roll-pin lightly tapped over the adjustment screw. The flexible driver used to set the idle mixture screws can be had at AZ or one of the others for around $8-10.
I always try to set the lean stop (MCS hold down screw) to the same number of turns out that it was prior to disassembly. When I've not been able to determine what that was I've set it to 3-1/2. I've taken a dozen or so apart and don't recall any being more than 4 turns out or less than 3. There is however a tool, or guage, that accurately sets this distance. A member here fashioned one out of some stock some time back.
I've always set the rich stop by placing the air horn on top (with gasket but without the TPS/Booster) temporarily to measure the travel, then removing it to turn the rich stop in the airhorn. It usually requires little or no adjustment when the lean stop is replaced to original number of turns out.
Replacement plugs will be in any rebuild kit. They should be re-installed to prevent dirt from entering. If you need a set and don't want to shell out $20 for a rebuild kit, let me know. I'm sure I have some around as the last few carbs I've rebuilt didn't require them to be removed.
