Thanks again!

I don't remember a Ranchero with a 66/67 Fairlane front clip. Weird to me they went from Falcon to Fairlane platform in between those years since the body was basically the same.

You think they would inspect these rockers and re-sell them?

Uggghhhh if that's true.

I hope they would send them back to Comp... but I am probably naive.

This sounds reasonable. Someone like Jegs or a Comp distributor may agree to inspect, sort, and re-package. Or maybe they agree to ship back to Comp's factory. But I don't see Amazon doing either...

Thank you. I appreciate the voice of reason!

I don't know about the Edelbrock pump but the Facet pumps as shared by Kenth allow flow-through when they are off. Edelbrock is probably the same.

A good excuse to use the smoker and "patio-gate". We have a nice sunny day so that's good!

With zero experience straightening forks, I'll jump in anyway.

I suggest you NOT heat it, as it is probably made of a heat-treated, tough alloy like 4140.

If you think of the carb as a jar with a hole in the lid, then yes, all other things being equal, the bigger hole will allow a higher rate of vapor loss.
