Like stroker said it usually whistles from the base gasket, that carb doesn't look that old, don't see how the secondary shaft could be wore that much, my old 600 has been rebuilt 3 times and the shafts are still in good shape..
OuCh--- lucky you live in Texas or I'd take that old $1,000 rust bucket '63 chevy and suk the headlites and stripes off that R/T in uh heads up 1/4 mile..:burnout:
Nah I thought that was the light yellowish tan primer..
I know y'all love chevys, so I'll just do updates on the gassers '63 chevy tow truck until I start back on the gasser.. The bed headboard was in decent shape, have 2 patches to weld in the top and I had to make a new rail at the bottom where the bed floor bolts to it..
I always get my boxes from the dollar store or dollar general, there already broke down and flat and I also get my clear packing tape there, the tape on a red roll $1.75 compared to $3.95 everywhere else...
Do a little something every chance you get and you'll get there, workin' on my '63 chevy truck is slowin my gasser down, but I need to save for a rollcage before I fly back in on it anyways, I have all the parts laying around for the truck so I'm just stayin' busy with what I have to work with..
They are engine and drivetrain wise, If I built a pre-'73 step side bed from an aftermarket parts catalog it would cost between $2,500 an $3,000.... Value wise nice pre-'73 Chevys go for more then ford and Dodge on average...
I was going to check the rear end to see if it was posi, I just had to look under the passenger side rear fender to figure out "it's not uh posi"... Theres no wonder the kid wrapped it around a tree, thats strans of rubber hangin'..
Yep, that's how we roll.... I have $110 in it countin' gettin' it hauled.. I'm keeping the heavy duty power brake system, bed, rear and front end and the rest gets sold>>>
