'60 223 carb overhaul
I'm getting closer to driving this thing again after three years. I've run all new fuel lines from the tank to the carb, new pump and filter as well. The tank was mostly empty all that time, so I plan to slosh some B12 in it and call that good.
The carburetor is where I have problems. Looking at my shop manual I realized that the accelerator pump lever is broken! The connector rod for it jsut dangles and the plastic(?) arm is no where to be seen. So I have three questions:
1) where can i get the accelerator pump lever? Junkyard and fleabay come to mind first.
2) what is the model number of my carburetor? 1960 223 6 with a one hole Holley. Here's some numbers I pulled from it on the driver side:
12R
1958
and the passenger side:
B26, this could also be 338 or some other combination of those characters;
and on the bottom with all the patent numbers:
6R - 1545 B
Which of these is the important one?
and 3) where can I get different jets for this carb? Are they the same as some other model of Holley?
Thanks,
J

Well, to be honest it sounds like your carb. is past the point of repair. If it's the one
I'm thinking of, a single barrel Holley. Places like Macs Antique Auto Parts have new/rebuilt one for around $150 with your core. You might also find one through a local Napa parts store. Hope this helps.
