My Carb...before and after!

**Xplantdad** · #1 05-12-2006, 05:58 AM

I was having a problem with whistling coming from my carb while driving the Chevelle. I PM'ed Eric Jackson ( Vintage Musclecar on this site) and explained to him what I was experiencing. He told me what was most likely wrong with the carb...and so when I had to go to Las Vegas last weekend...I decided to pull the carb and send it to him for a rebuild and restoration.

It turns out that the throttle shaft bushings were almost gone...and the baseplate was warped. Either and/or both could have caused the problem that I was experiencing.

Anyways, here are 3 shots of the carb as I was taking it off to send to Eric.

Now here's the finished result

BIG difference! It should be on it's way home tomorrow, and I should get it mid-week next week. The attention to detail is amazing

I can't wait!

Thanks a bunch Eric...you are amazing!

Wow, nice looking carb! This calls for a burnout photo once it's all back together!

Looks great!

I think I better box mine up and get it taken care of. It needs to get totally restored.
