I am in need of a new carb and I dont want to go with an aftermarket.
Does anyone have a carb from a 64 Riviera ? I will take a core as long as it is rebuildable.

Bill,
I can restore an AFB for you. I primarily work with Pontiacs but have a large number of AFBs including those from Buicks. A restored carburetor would have been completely disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, the hardware replated in cadmium and zinc, the springs will have been baked after plating to prevent hydrogen embrittlement, the body and top bead blasted and sealed, and then reassembled with a kit and test run on a 389 Pontiac engine on a test stand. My price for a restored AFB is $225 + shipping.
I do not sell cores.
I will try to post a picture of a restord carburetor.
John

If the corrosion has not been to the point where there is a hole or holes in the bottom of one or both of the bowls you can bead blast the area to clean it out thoroughly, or use a dremel with a wire wheel, fill it with JB Weld, and then file and sand the filled area flush with the carb bottom. I have done this a number of times.
You could probably do this without consequences even if one or both of the bowls are holed but I wouldn't unless the body were really rare and I couldn't find another one.
Of course you could also get someone to rebuild the area with a tig welder.
