Hey John –

 

As they say, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).

daytona does a terrible rebuild job . absolutely  terrible . 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 .

Another vote for Daytona Carburetor kits. Or they will rebuild them for you.

Where can I get 'em??

Have a pair of carbs from a D I plan to restore.

Anyone have their carbs rebuilt by anyone lately?

They gotta be getting parts and kits from somewhere.
