55 carb troubles

["Bill Mcpheeters" <janshaverlake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ted, your Carter carb problem may not be as bad as you think.

Contact Gary Nelson:

gary@xxxxxxxx   he is located in Reno, NV & rebuilds carbs & nearly all other mopar parts including Imperial parts, he is an interesting man & very knowledgeable.

I bought two kits from local parts houses to rebuild my 56 Imperial WCFB & although the kits were close they were not exact, took them back & found out about Gary, called him & had the right kit at a very reasonable price 3 days later.

I rebuilt the carb & it know works perfect.

His day time phone is 775-853-5335, if you get his recorder leave a message & he always calls back, sometimes in early evening.

Good luck.

Bill & Jan McPheeters, Shaver Lake, Ca

Hi!

 

No, I have the standard Carter-but a post on this website said Holly would rebuild all makes of carbs, so thought I would

give them a try, or at least get a quote. I am concerned that I may have a crack in the carb allowing fuel to gradually seep out. I might not find this if I rebuilt it myself, whereas Holly would magnaflux the carb. (I hope!) Also need a new choke spring, mine now has to be manually choked with a clothespin on the linkage!!
