Y-OH-Y,

Check Ebay there are a few on there much less than $100. The Procomp ones are in the $40-60 range. I'm looking for one with a timed vacuum port. That's why I know

I have been looking, most I have found have been closer to $100. I was hoping someone might have one on a shelf that could be had cheap. I have found american rebuilts for $180, and new for $240, just need to keep it running for now. Thanks, Mark

Thank you for looking.  Mark

Y-OH-Y, I did some checking and I think the carb I have is 500CFM.

Y-OH-Y,

Why don't you just buy a new carb base? These are available through either holley or are available as an aftermarket copy.

About $50-60 if you look. Your not the first nor will you be the last to break a base.

cheers

Y-OH-Y, I have a Holley 2 bbl carb that came with my '56 M100. You can have it if you want. I have no idea what CFM it is. Is there something I should look for to id it?

Still looking for an inexpensive carb/core. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I have it rigged with some rtv and a large, thick washer for now. With so many unknown things that can go wrong on this truck it bothers me to have something that I know is going to fail at the most murphy moment. Mark

If it was a good carb before the break, J.B. Weld It back together, using a flat surface under it.. Not much to lose!
