I'd send it to Charlie Schwendler in New York. With "California Pricing" in effect, the shipping is probably a wash and he is quite simply the best.

The top casting is from a 91-99 and the center section is from a 59 if the Carb. is for your avatar suggest finding a 91-99 center section. Ask the rebuilder of your choice if they have one.

Sorry with the late response. I haven't logged in for a couple weeks.

Yes, it's for the fire engine that's my avatar. The carburetor is pieced from two different carbs? If it is, thanks for the heads up. I'm learning as I go. It appears either or after the Department of Defense auctioned it off, someone mixed and matched several parts on it.
