Re: Sources for EE23 Carb bowls

Peter, I question if you're correct when you say Eight/Super Eight the same. As I recall the center fuel bowl casting of the EE-23 incorporates the venturis which are not the same for the Eight and the Super 8; 1-3/32 versus 1-3/16. Good, serviceable EE-22 and EE-23 carburetors are always sought after, very expensive and not easy to find, best of luck.

You might ask some of the better carburetor rebuilders like The Carb Doctor and Daytona Parts if they can recommend a sealant, I've never heard of one that proved satisfactory but they would certainly know more about that. Perhaps some form of electroplating or metallization might do the job? But once the diecast gets porous you have to worry about mechanical strength.
