Look at dimension 'H' Then read paragraph 2 above again and again. I cannot explain it any better without being there.

Read post 79 again.

NO.

You have gone this far and spent a lot of money with poor results. I would absolutely install a NEW pair of floats.

The way I read the 72 FSM, yes, that would be the correct setting. Then you can set the mixture as needed.

The FSM states for a N42 L28 with dished pistons, the compression is 164 to 178 psi. A bit low but all still very even so just fine to drive if you do not want to pull apart for now. I see no issue. I would look elsewhere for any problems.

Funny you should mention that. I was going to ask if that traffic idle issue was when the A/C compressor kicked in. That would be a common problem I would think if no way to compensate. This already may have been talked about. There have been many posts by you on your issues and I have not been thru all of them in detail.

+1 You need a new mechanic.

"Stronger valve springs" This is primarily why I went to the softer Schneider spring kit over the Isky kit. Easier on the camshaft.

Last time I looked at the original color, the impression I got was a dark satin grey, (or is it gray) but with a tint of dark bronze. That's what I was after looking for a can of spray. I did find one close like others here did. I can't find the can but maybe I kept the cover. I am still looking.

I really like that color. Paint your spoiler the same. Would look great!
