The best carburetor kit I ever bought was from zip Corvette for a Holley. I imagine they sell a kit for the AFB extensively used on Corvettes as well. If their AFB kit is as good as their Holly kit that would be a kit to buy.

You need to withdraw that recommendation Ron . here is why : l had a wcfb they “ rebuilt “ — instead of re bushing the worn shaft they wrapped .001 shim stock 360 around it , left the shaft worn ( the real problem with wcfb , is hole in carb body wears , causing erratic vacuum leak at idle ) Otherwise excellent stable carbs . this shim later got sucked sideways into throat ,the edge of it was holding throttle plates open such that idle adjustments did not work and varied all over the place . To add injury , the lack of a full close of throttle exposed the ported advance above the throttle plate to vacuum at times , advancing the timing , which raises idle “ depending” on moon light or not . Want a challenge? FYI on this, there should be negligible vacuum at idle in vacuum line on all mopars . — or more to the point ignition timing should not move as you connect the line at idle . Possible exception is ram cars . a design mistake there imho , no ported vacuum . This WCFB took me two long months to figure out , in and off 4 x , but did not stop them from collecting my 400 to throughly screw up my carb . not only don’t go there , RUN away . Crooks imho . They deserve this review. Kits from Mikes Carbs are really good and they answer your questions too . within hours The bushing reamer and new bushings are 39$ on ebay . You are 360$ ahead .
