[FWDLK] rebuild kit

["Deane Allinson" <deane.allinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had my carburetor rebuilt by a local guy for $40. I'm still doing the
adjustments etc. but it is leaking and it is hard to tell where the leak
is. I 'm pretty sure it is around the rear float chamber. Anyway, the
mating halves are not perfectly flush. I was told that if I put double
gaskets everywhere, that would probably stop any leak. Should I try
to straighten the mating surfaces or will I just crack the parts? None
of the local parts houses are able to cross over the carb's Holly
part # R1971A. for a rebuild kit so I can add gaskets. It's the original
carb. and the repair lists that # too.It's off a '60 Dodge with a 383.
Can anyone help out with suggestions or give another part # that
would use the same gaskets? (I already took the thing back to the
guy who rebuilt it once for leaks, you get what you pay for).
