Now thats how you do it! Go Hoovie!

Great video! I like his videos

Isn't that I was not wanting to do them,
It is just that my stock always takes a back burner to mail ins.
When a customer pulls their carbs off a car and sends them to me, getting them back is the priority. I hate going offshore and leaving a customer's parts in the shop.
My stock always waits until I have the time.

The other issue is all of my stock was found over a decade+, there are rarely "sets."  Whenever I'd see a single SK carb I'd buy it.
I have a few dozen singles and I try my best to match them up and get them so they'll work together.

Either way, these will work for Michael's car and at least they are off the shelf.

Drew,
As I have clumsily attempted to say before, I get all of that. Please don't think I don't. Michael and I are over the moon with these. Nothing I posted was meant in any way to be a negative comment. In fact it was meant as a positive response to your services. You were finally my exit ramp to doing carburetors for other people. My standard commitment when asked now is send it to Drew, and except for the 3-4 people who I have been doing them for years they do.


John

I have yours pulled.
They are in a bin in the machining room.
Just ran out of time.

Drew did a great job of providing the extremely rare cores and restoring them for a great project!  Michael Sedlak was out visiting us in Washington and we ran up with my family to grab lunch with Mark Hovander. During lunch the five of us were discussing a couple of engine projects that are upcoming. We were touching on the Bill Clawson car engine and what was needed for that project. Carburetors were mentioned and Michael was telling me what was needed for the project. He had a couple of leads, the more he described what he was looking for the more I realized what he was looking for was the SK carburetors I had for our 1969 1/2 BOSS 302, to check my theory out I showed him a picture of our carburetors. Michael's face told me that our carbs were EXACTLY what he needed for his historical 1968 Bill Clawson car. Unfortunately our carburetors were not for sale. I told Michael that I would go on a hunt for carburetors for him.
I had talked with Drew at AFS about being able to find SK carburetors for yet another build previously, Drew said that he had a set of cores but wouldn't know when he would be able to get to them. I chased down a couple of leads for Michael and despite shaking all of the trees in my way the Unicorn carburetors needed for Michael's car were not showing up. I reached out to Drew again and when he realized that the carburetors were for a truly historic race car that Michael is uniquely the current caretaker of he responded that he would be able to get us a set. Drew appreciates history and the opportunity to complete the process of restoring the car correctly was something that he believed in. Well Michael and I never dreamed of finding carburetors so fittingly perfect for his car. But Drew had them. His SK carburetors he supplied to Michael were only 2 digits away from my pair. A huge Thank you to Drew!

I bought a rust free 1969 hood that had gone from Arizona to Pennsylvania, to Washington state. If you make the crate strong enough travel won't be a problem.

Good luck

A new design rear seal that is one piece for small block Fords and other engines has been designed. It doesn't require any machine work to be fitted;

Its not old guard, put the blame on the attention seekers

Ahh, post counters again. Stupid attention whores.

I think that the tone of how Tyler Hoover was treated by the old guard is an outstanding lesson in self reflection for those who wonder why the young guys aren't interested in what the club represents. Even if someone can afford the price of admission they are not welcome, they have to EARN the welcome and that should cause a lot of y'all to be ashamed.

Is there an F in front of the AV?

Roy,
Yes that is an FAV intake manifold.

Gee, its getting to the point you cant tell the difference between their trolls and our trolls.

 

At some point, isn't there an equation where they cancel each other out? It occurs to me that the only solution is to be positive about all posts? We can't save people from being willing participants in things like the " Jonestown massacre". They can only save themselves.

There isn't anyone here that is a messiah, as much as they think that they are. Individuals must be able to see that for themselves.

Pete, ShelbyDoug,

I have found relief in going through the threads ignoring trolls by turning them into a little yellow box. This little yellow box tells me that I'm ignoring this person, however if for some bizarre reason someone else found relevance in an answer posted by a user who is being ignored it gives you a little link to open that user's post.

Kind of an anti-troll kit, then except for the fact that first thing in the morning they have populated the unread posts selection with their self-important drivel..... well if the moderators don't ban, then the population needs to ignore.

Personally I don't see erasing the history of Johnny Crawford buying the car from Carroll Shelby himself and turning it over time into the car he wanted to drive, just to turn it into another Wimbledon White Stepford car that IF you show it only gets a cursery glance because it is exactly the same as all the other cars. Support the story, they don't all need to be the same boring rubber stamp.

The tide is turning again gentlemen.

Does anyone have any connection to Japan and finding classic cars in Japan?

I have looked online and haven't solved the riddle yet.

Looking for a 1967 that went there number 433

Try researching the CNC in Tokyo;

These photos are from the previous car owner taken in the early 1990's. I was surprised to see this at Hobby Lobby also. I purchased the car about 12 years ago and have made several corrections in the engine compartment.

Yes! We got one at Hobby Lobby and it is on my garage wall. Beautiful car!

Heck, the intake and carbs alone are more valuable than both of the cars on either side of it as well... combined.


Nice that it was out.

John,

I have the instructions for the 39000 series for the BEI II and dual point 37000 series. I have 2 37201T (T for tach drive series) one with a cast iron gear and one with bronze gear for steel cam shafts that has a FoMoCo oval stamp on the lower body. (289/302 & BOSS302 applications) I also have 3 different flavors of upper trigger units; points, Pertronx and electronic BEI type Lazer II. One unit I disguised with "Autolite" just for kicks. I even have a Jones tach with "Bud Moore Eng." logo on the face.
I'm unfamiliar with the 35000 series. I know Accel went from 32000 to the 37000 series.I can email you any page of the instructions. Let me know.

Cheers,
 ~Earl J

Thank you very much! That is exactly what I'm looking for. I also have a 37000 series dual point tach drive distributor and a 39000 series BEI distributor that I am in the process of going through. I also have an Accel 30201 dual point. I have parts of the 35202T series distributor which is slightly smaller in diameter and uses a smaller cap. I am looking at grafting the distributor below the advance mechanism to an offset distributor lower housing. All of that obviously is not for just one engine. In addition I have none of the Accel literature, so you can see why I love your response.

I would love to have a copy of the complete manual in your picture! I'll send you my email address. Thank you!


John
