How much can I get a Yugo for? Will a BBC fit in a Yugo?

Well, that is a very detailed rebuild on a rare carb. You can only sell it once! Or- in this case keep it forever?

No application forms, just use the back of an already used piece of paper.

Im a drywall/carpenter, I will just fill in my qualifications on scrap of gyp board or a piece of 2x4.

That'll work, Kelly. And keep an eye and see if that carb actually SELLS for that.

And my friend who works at our local Auto parts supply house calls me cheap!
Because I refuse to buy the Edelbrock #1403 Carb I would like to put on Sandi's 61 Hawk, for $359.00 + 12% tax (total $402.00). When I have 3 new in the box #1406 in stock??Good Roads

These old Carter AFB's (and WCFB's too) are from the Golden Age of carb building. If you think about it, these old carbs were mechanical attempts to do what electronic fuel injection and computers and sensors are doing today. And they didn't do a bad job for their times. The metering rods in these Carter carbs were different for each and every application, and sometimes a metering rod from one application would differ from a rod for another application by only a couple of ten-thousandths of an inch. Yes, I said ten-thousandths!

But I would never pay that kind of money for one!!
