  • T-BOW carb rebuild

    I had several people recommend T-BOW to do a carb rebuild for me. It is complete. I just thought I would post some photos of his work. It looks good to me but it will be awhile before I bolt it on and try it out.

    If that carb works as good as it looks it will work really nice.

          Hey, I want to recommend Dave to any member needing a carb rebuild. He did my Carter 3589 R1 AFB this summer. It previously had been rebuilt three times: once by Harry Weber, an old Stude mechanic, once by me, and once by another guy. My rebuild and the other guys rebuild resulted in an engine that idled rough and performed rough. Dave's rebuild compared to Harry's in making the engine idle smooth, run great, and get over 19 mpgs on a road trip! (R1 4spd 3.07 Super Hawk) Dan

            Good luck with that, Joe. He could squash you like a bug! (and me, too, at the same time!)

                  Several years ago I had my Studebaker at a very nice show on Fort Myers Beach. We parked between the hotel and the water. A big fellow came by and looked at my car and we talked. He introduced himself, but then the name David Thibeault didn't mean anything to me. Later I learned with whom I had been speaking.

                        Thanks for the heads up...........I actually thought this guy had a short fuse and could blow up at any moment.....lot's of people have referred to him as this big mafia looking individual. I would not want to be the individual to run afoul of anyone looking like Luca Brazzi in The Godfather:-)

                          Like I posted Neil, Dave is a really nice guy and is the proverbial gentle giant. Why would you say anything different about him?

                              You don't really want to get into this, do you? Raoul is a screen name, my real name is on the bottom of every one of my posts. My full name and town is in my profile, unlike yours Neil.
