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-

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

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

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

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)
