Seeing as I have a 44 year old car and a 26 year old car with carbs, I can tell you they're cranky. Once you're done fiddling with them for cold weather, in comes the warm. Tuned for low humidity? Here comes the rain.
Personally, I have to get out of the car after pumping it twice and fiddle with the choke on one of mine every damn morning, rain or shine. Choke sticks open for some reason. Nobody can figure it out. Lemme tell you about how much fun it is to do that when it's raining. Having black vinyl bench seats in the middle of the summer is the least of my worries, I just carry a towel. Vent windows were invented for a reason, most every car built back then has a plethora of venting solutions that makes the ride pretty decent.
I'm all about old iron, trust me. I'm not saying it should be hacked to shit, it just needs to be within the realm of what he knows how to fix.
