Re: carb

I think the attraction is price. Carpenter $500 and Henkyo $139 ! I saw them too, but went with Carpenter. Made in USA and very good quality and very good service.

Re: '40 Ford Door Closure Mechanism

It’s for sure the spring in remote pivot arm. Got it out and cleaned it all up and found a small piece of spring stuck in the grease. Ugh…..!

Re: '40 Ford Door Closure Mechanism

Deuce…….

My email is [email protected]

It’s the spring in the pivot arm drivers side of course as stated. Do you have a pivot arm assembly ?

Slowforty ……I see what your saying now !...
