Re: Parts needed,clunk question



Since the 327 uses a standard Holley pattern carb, I'd go to a speed shop and get a generic spring and bracket. Anyone who sells Holley carbs should have one -- or that carries "Mr. Gasket" rack speed parts. 

The clunk is likely an inner A arm bushing. Check those and tie rod ends. I suspect an A arm bushing because the bushing "sets" going forward and stays there, but when you back up and put on brakes it moves. It's most likely an upper A arm bushing, not the lower. Turning will put more pressure on one of the upper bushings depending on the direction of turn. Have the bushings ever been changed?
