Does anyone know of a manufacturer of carb kits that uses materials that will at least tolerate alcohol for more than a month?

Get a kit from Daytona Parts down in FL. The very best kits available anywhere, I wouldn't buy a kit from anyone else. If you afford it, their rebuilds are world-class.

I've got about 10 years on mine in the 56 Carib and the pumps are as good as the day they were installed. Also, the accelerator pump plunger in my 34 has been happily pumping away for 30 or more years with no problems, it's also leather and doesn't seem to have been affected at all by today's gasoline.
