Update on the Carb Shop

[Dana]

So I finally closed the deal on buying the carb shop 3 weeks ago. So far, so good. Learning a lot, meeting some good folks, and getting to tinker with some cool stuff. Here is a project I completely restored for a customers Gorgeous 67 Belvedere. Also just wrapping up a gas miser TQ for a fella's Dakota, and starting a 67 GTO Q-jet Resto Monday.

No fair, work isn't supposed to be fun! You have a cool job now!

 

[Demonic]

I'm jealous.

Do you do plating?

Thanks Pal, I know. No more dressing like its winter time in august, to run into a hot furnace or oven to lay a few brick and run out! No more watching every move I make so I don't get squashed by an overhead crane. I'm definitely not taking it for granted.

Do you do plating?

Yes sir, Everything on that six pack was replated.

there must be a good reason for the carb fuel inlets being on the left side?

If you ever think you made the wrong decision to go into business for yourself, think about the days you spent at Clairton.
Hope to see you and your cars at Quaker City in 2019.
Good Luck

Can you set up a carb for forced induction?

 

[dartfreak75]

Very cool!! I'm sure you can conjure up a bunch of business here! And on Facebook.

 

[Dana]

Can you set up a carb for forced induction?

Absolutely, just need to know all the particulars.

.
Those look like the DC 6 pac carbs.
I think the story goes Ford reneged on buying the carbs from Holley so Mopar bought all of them and sold them thru DC. I think they are all mechanical linkage aswell.
