OK, just got off the phone with Cliff and parts are on the way. I was really hoping to save some time and get some of the grunt work of cleaning and bushing install farmed out while I prep the intake but you guys encouraged me well enough. We’ll see how it goes. Cliff was very helpful on the phone and I jotted down the basic “do’s” for this particular carb rebuild and my application, thanks Cliff, that will make it a lot more straight forward than digesting all the info in the book at once. I’m very detail oriented and I would, and still eventually will.
MG I researched at length what repop pans to get. It was pretty simple at the end though, Warpath Restoration. At least when I bought mine they were the only ones making the hood pan in metal and they are 100% correct in fit and appearance.
