remember the car ran extremely well, and the reason I started playing with it was that there was a slight surge at highway speeds, I don't think I am ready to scrape it or the carbs I was just concerned about the mixture being lean for the trip. it appears the advance plate is stilling

If the can is leaking that could certainly give it a lean surge/hesitation. cap the dist vac line & take it out for a spin would ans that Q pretty fast. what is the plate doing?
