Re: Carb info needed.

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Ugh, beware trying to juggle BBD carb infernals; there are many, many  
tiny variations in castings, drillings, acc pumps, throttle shafts,  
etc etc as to be not worth the bother. ESPECIALLY if you're trying to  
do this with junkyard parts to save money.

25+ year old OEM, production, typically-maintained carburetors are  
pretty much crap; they're all worn out, and that's why you can find  
them in a junkyard. There are good ones of course -- but if you had  
one, you wouldn't be going through all these gyrations, right?

My advice, worth what you are paying for it -- consider this email an  
invoice :-) -- is to find a good, intact used carb and rebuild it or  
simply buy one. www.nationalcarburetors.com will sell you one with  
lifetime warranty for $150. Good deal!
