Re: Randy Berger's 1956 Caribbean

Got the front clip off and took off the intake manifold and carbs. When mechanic started to rebuild the front carb I noticed the rings on the primary venturi and told him to hold up till I found out what I remembered about those rings. TSB 56-23 addresses a campaign to fix a problem with 56 Caribbean carbs. The problem is that these rings on the primary venturi can work loose and be sucked into the engine. I didn't have page 2 of that TSB and Owen Dyneto was kind enough to email me that page which details the fix. I am in a bit of a quandary as the fix has been applied to this carb, but the rings are still loose. I'm going to call Daytona Carb on Monday and see if they have a new venturi with rings.
In any case, here is a pic of page 2 of the TSB and also the Caribbean sans front clip - reminds me of a naked lady although I can't explain that analogy.
