1963 1BC REPLACEMENT CARB NEEDED.
 
5 Attachment(s)
While helping out my late friends family sort his cars/project I decided to see what was going on with the 1963 Tempest with the 195 1BC since it really hasn't seen the road since our last outing in 2019 to the 18th annual Lonestar Round-Up a trip/memory that I will forever cherish.

Anyhow, I was able to get her to fire up in short order. After checking all the fluids. I backed it in and out of the garage. It was idling near perfect with excellent oil pressure. However once up to temp, it started running rough.
I quickly took a look under the hood and the carb was spewing fuel at the base.
I shut it down for a closer look and it appears to be coming from the throttle shaft, I could smell the foul fuel and decided to add a stabilizer to the tank as well as a small amount of fresh fuel that was on hand. I started it again and she idled perfectly with no leaks. Then sprayed carb cleaner into the carb while maintaining idle and all seemed to be holding.
I again put it in drive and in short order, it started leaking fuel under load.
So I explained to the kids not to drive it until the carb can be addressed.

This brings me to my question, are there any suitable replacements that you might recommend to use so the car could be made drivable so the OE carb can be hopefully rebuilt when time allows. His daughter wants to keep this Tempest and I want to help her all I can.

Sorry for the long post but really appreciate any input.
Thanks
Jeff

Lots era 6 cyl engines used a 1GC "Monojet".

I agree with Padgett, put a monojet on it. My 62 LeMans didn't run so good when I bought it. I put a monojet from another car and it ran perfect, it's had a monojet on ever since. Sorry I don't have any laying around but any older auto wrecker should have some?

How about one of each ?

Automatic or manual choke?

Thanks, guys, I think I found some avail, and looks like it may take some time to secure.

Really hope we can get this Ol Tempest back out so the kids can enjoy it.
Tony and I always had a blast with this little 4 banger!
