Maybe I'm cheap or like things close to original, or a combination of both. It sounds like you have a good working Teapot carb already. Why not use that and make sure the distributor is up to snuff as far as the advance diaphragm, points/condensor and vacuum line connections to the diaphragm. This is basicly a freeby and the engine will run good. The Loadomatic is kind of a goofy system (who said there wasn't LSD in the 50's ?), and will work well when maintained.
