Beautiful car. Who built those valuable BC/BD carbs? And did anyone notice the pos needle/seat assembles? Not Holley approved as any ham fisted wrench spinner will have those bowl threads stripped out in short order.

Float adjusters? The nuts look thick to me. They are probably contacting the bottom of the air cleaner.

Looks like the Borg Warner rebuild kits I sometimes used back in the late 70s and yup I stripped the threads out of bowl over tightening it.

Not driven in 5 years? That's kind of a shame. You can see from the underside shots that she is not a concours restoration.
