Looks like this

I know this depends on condition, but does anyone know how much it cost to have an original wheel restored?

I don’t really want to pay $800 for a reproduction that isn’t correct. I will let you know if I find one.

I heard the repop isn’t correct. I believe the spokes are shiny instead of satin. I will look for the one on eBay.

I am looking for a nice condition original rallye wood grain steering wheel for a 1969 dart

It is a Kelsey Hayes I need. The valve I currently have is a reproduction and brand new. I cans seem to get it to stop leaking from the bolt on the bottom.

Looking for a good original disc/drum combination valve. My new reproduction leaks. So want To try an original. I believe it came on 70-74 dusters and darts.

I decided to pull my trouble carb apart again while waiting for my rebuild kits. I think I found the problem. A crack by the main well. I filled the bowls up with fuel and can’t get a leak. It must pull fuel through the crack with vacuum when the engine is running. Anybody know where I could...

I will make sure to keep that in mind. Thank you

I will have to give him a call. That’s only a 2 hour drive from my place. It might be worth it for him to restore the rare 71 carb I have.
