Many months ago I put a new carb kit in the Carter but when I sat it on Speedster last week, it looked like a turd at a wedding table.

I tried a few things short of disassembling it again and throwing it in a dip tank and it still looked like a relic that had sat out in the rain for 58 years. Besides if it looked that bad on the outside what assurance was there that my carb kit had done any good !?

So I did the only logical thing... did a search on the Forum and following advice found here, bought an Edlebrock 1406 from Advance for pickup at the closest store for $284! I found a 2697 adapter plate for $47 delivered.
My calculation based on reports found here is that I'll only have to drive 10,600 miles to recoup my investment. In the mean time I'll just have to appreciate that it looks nice.
I try and keep the parts flow about a month ahead of need so this covers one more base.
