Well, as it turns out, I may end up with some unused parts from their kits for the '56 4GCs as I plan on installing some NOS Rochester needle and seats sets (found since) in the carbs on the Carib and one of the Pats, in conjunction with kits that I had purchased from DPC (before I encountered the problem with the '55 kit).

Generally, I prefer to handle such matters via the time-shifting utility of e-mail or snail mail, but have learned those forms of communication are easily ignored when a problem arises. From now on, that stuff will get handled by a phone call. Thanks for the tip on the "go-to guy".

Yet, a call to DPC wasn't very fruitful regarding an inquiry on a replacement for the broken choke stat cover for my Carib (when I ordered those overhaul kits) - unless I would send them the carbs and pay for their rebuild service. Thankfully, Mike Dulinksi (of MN) came through with an excellent used cover.

Still, I'd recommend DPC's kits, with pros and cons I've noted.
