I'm getting ready to rebuild my Zenith carb. I have read Les Andrews part about it. Is there anything else to lookout for or any hidden tricks?

Get flow tested jets from renners corner,, if you can't flow test them yourself.
If the throttle shaft has any play install an oversize one
Reference this site step by step as your rebuilding it

One book that is written with great Zenith internal details is:

"Restoring The Model "A" and "B" Carburetors - The "REX" Reheis Way"

One point well taken is when he describes how to eliminate Zenith round bowl carburetor flooding & engine killing when making Model A abrupt stops.

His recommendation is to lower Ford's recommended carburetor bowl fuel height by 5/16" which is done with altering the float level which in turn operates the float valve.
