Time to Rebuild Carb
Posted by Bob E. On 2018/5/1 19:19:50
I've been holding off doing other things and it looks like it is time to rebuild the carb.
A few housekeeping items:
-It is a Carter WCFB carb. I know the Rochester should be what is on this 352, but it is not. The engine has a 5587 stamp on it and my car is a 5582 so somewhere in time the engine was changed out as well as the carb.
Hard to find any distinguishing numbers on the carb:
Air Horn 6-889, 0-986 (i have a listing that says 6-889 air horn is usu attached to WCFB #2281s)
I bought this rebuild kit (#1205) from Hal's. Seems okay, lots of gaskets but I was expecting more metal parts (like the other springs and the jets, etc).
Time to slowly disassemble and clean..
