Re: [FWDLK] Carb Question

Chris,

I would think you might want to ask the question: "Why do I need to replace
the carb every 2-3 years?" A newer carb may not be the solution.

The 2 bbl on one of my engines was running fine, probably never rebuilt,
with 45K miles, used from 56 to 66, then sat until 79, and used until
replaced by a 4 bbl in 86.

Subject: [FWDLK] Carb Question

Guys,

For years now, I've been replacing the 2-barrel carb on my '58 Coronet
325-V8 with rebuilt units.  I'll get maybe 2-3 years without problems
before driveability problems pop up again.  I've grown tired of this cycle
and now I'm looking for a new direct replacement bolt on carb that will
still allow me to use the stock air cleaner.  Does anyone know what might
fit?
