From what I gather, that particular carb went on the R/T with the AT and AC options. Mine is able to run with the idle bleeds closed, and not a lot of throttle stop added. Very rich at any setting.

A guy in town with a good reputation says he can rebuild them, and does, but for $250 min. I'd like to do it myself.

(Edit, this part number is on the tag on the carb and the one the book specifies)

Does anyone know of a good source for quality parts for these? Thanks in advance.

Would any old AFB kit work?

It should, you can't find a Hygrade kit for it?

Thanks. I was looking for a reputable kit. I'll try that Hygrade 357B.

Rationale- it's been almost 20 years since the carb was rebuilt. Ambient temperature here is often well over 100F, so I'd installed an aluminum plate at the carb base with a phenolic spacer to prevent vapor locking. (Hard hot starts) It did help, but I suspect I might have caused a leak there. I'll check that, but since the carb will be removed, might as well rebuild it.

Thanks again. I am new at this and discovering there is a lot I don't know about...everything. (learning curve)
