  1. we are MFG.obs.parts for the carbs-were even able to MFG. a diaph.

    for 1958 Cad.that operated the 3x2 set up-went to buy one,shops wanted

    $250-500.00 for a diaph.pull off--absurd!We charged the customer

    $88.00--

    Contact us if anyone is interested in buying a "Fish" carb-

    we have a warehouse full of carb cores-just sent a Carter for a

    Studebaker Jeep to Portugal-with the kit.It was in AAA condition-

    Posted an antique hood(with vanes) with wrap around (still contains

    the window hangers that held the back window shade-hate to take it to

    the flea market-please contact us with pics on flatheads for sale-

    owner interested in HIPO eng in hot rod-thanks,pi@cfiworld.com

  2. if you can go with the manual choke do so!It is less to go wrong,while

    giving you more options at higher elevations,as well as useful to get

    one out of ditches-ask the Jeep owners.For show , electric choke would

    be good looking,no hole in dashboard for choke knob-we do recommend you

    never let go of your AFB, one of the greatest carbs ever MFG-thanks,pi

  3. Greetings-- after selling any antique kit,we always give our customers

    "tips" - thought we would pass this on-

    1.Replace all hoses/clean or replace fuel filters

    2.Purge your fuel lines-this will wash out the debris that has collected

    on top of the fuel pump diaph.-after collecting your fuel,use childs

    magnet and feel for metals/sand/etc: gas tank may need replaced/repaired

    3.If possible,fill your new rebuilt with gas,this will stop the fuel pump

    from producing more PSI than it was designed for thus preventing needle and

    seat damage-

    4.Debris/heat are what kill carbs-keep your carb cool as well as fuel lines

    In the early days these tips were used by mechanics to stop "returns" and

    prevent carbs from flooding when first starting up the engine after installing

    the rebuilt carb--thanks,pi

    thanks,pi grin.gif

  4. wanting to sell these two items-cannot tell you what they are off of.

    the hood has vanes /// on each side-folds -- the wrap around is the

    part at back of vehicle(car)-it still has the rollers in the window

    space that accepted the shade.Bullet holes in hood-friend who is in

    business of restoration,thinks it should sell for $500.00-asking $300.00

    have had these items in closet-what a waste-thanks,crankit (pi@cfiworld.com)
