My Carb...before and after!
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.

Re: My Carb...before and after!
Looks great!
I think I better box mine up and get it taken care of. It needs to get totally restored.

Re: My Carb...before and after!
Well, now it's too nice to put back on the car and actually have fuel going through it
 Can't you just get a "driver" carb and have the resored one on display in your living room somewhere?
