Im thinking about selling my Corvette....Just sits there...

 

[halifaxhops]

If you do are you going to put the FI back on it?

 

[Princess Valiant]

yea, I can understand ...it comes to that

after awhile the marginal utility diminishes

I have too many and I am wanting to sell a few to fund fixing one up ......I need a 1/4 for my favorite dart and that would be a quick to get one shipped here.

 

[MOPARMITCH]

If you do are you going to put the FI back on it?

Probably not... Just give all the FI parts with the car. I even have the correct 283 and heads...

[jaws]

anyone ever rebuilt a 2 barrel carter carb?

Yep, easy.

 

[dukeboy440]

Yep, easy.

i figured. Ive rebuilt only a few carbs, mostly holleys and a couple old strombergs for dad's half tracks. Never a carter though

 

[Mopar Tim]

But these are made to be used on E & B body spindles ..

But you can use those spindles on an Abody...

Here's a pic I found online of my house's daily driver when I was at Milton Hershey. We decorated it like this for the annual Cocoa Bean game against Hershey public school. For anyone familiar with Hershey, the Stadium was our Home Field. The car would do a lap around the track before the game...

So a positive offset is to the outside and a negative offset is to the inside? right?

correct

You have to change to '73 up spindles. The drum spindles have a different diameter spindle, so, the bearings are different.

Technically, once you switch to '73 up spindles, you could be using B or E body disks. '73 up E-body spindles are the same as '73 up A body spindles. Same rotors.

Regardless, unless you use a conversion kit (AR engineering, Scarebird etc), you have to change the spindles. Which also requires either changing to big ball joint upper control arms, or using the tapered adaptors that Dr. Diff sells to adapt the smaller ball joint to the later spindle, which has a larger taper for the larger ball joint.

yep
