Hotshot
My carb had Holley on the float bowl and it was obvious that it was a Holley ND, the parts guy took the #s off the id tab and somehow managed to order the Carter 1 bbl kit. Reading, writing and arithmetic are low priorities in this provinces educational system, being a moron makes you intelligent up here. We have a politically correct expression up here " can't find qualified help ", really means, don't hire Calgarians as they're brain dead morons, hire the outsider instead. I'll take the Mexican guy's advice and either upgrade the motor in the future or get my brother to detune a 4150.

In 1972, the US Gov't forced FoMoCo to sell Auto-Lite, because the gov't claimed that FoMoCo had a monopoly on auto parts.
The FoMoCo lawyers argument that GM had bought Delco in the 19 teens, fell on deaf ears, so FoMoCo had no other choice but to divest themselves of Auto-Lite.

It'll fit but it wont cancel the turn signals on earlier (77?) trucks.
But there is a mod for that...... drilling the back and inserting two roll pins. I forget who it was but the FTEer did a short write up either in here (Dent) or the Bump forum.... PapaBearYuma???

The guy didnt answer me from last Friday to Sunday, then got back to me saying that he would be around to talk on Tuesday and Wednesday. Being that I have been working 5am-8pm, no way to drive to Orange County. He has a number posted in his ad, but it didnt Google to anything accept an old thread here.

His phone is busy. Always busy.
In less fun news, I have what I am hoping is a rear oil pan leak. I replaced the tear main seal several weeks ago and everything was simple. Now, its dripping, which freaks me out. I am planning to unbolt the pan and spray the pan gasket with brake cleaner, add rtv to the pan and bolt it back up.
Very unmotivated at this point.
