Currently on the Stovebolt Forum is a very detailed thread on what Carter carbs will fit on Chevy engines....and ethanol issues on carbs...... not sure if the link above will work for you.

Look for the Stovebolt forum Engine shop....YF Carb. Interesting reading.

You may need to sign up but it is free and similar to MLU ...very helpful individuals

Bob,

You are correct about those carb guys on Eugene street - they are the best.

They were able to get my father-in-laws 1923 cadillac back on the road with a special float made from the guts of a pair of quadrajet carbs.

If you have a carb problem, those guys will get you fixed up!

Bob is correct this is an interesting and detail read, some of what is being said is between the lines. Particularly when it is talking about rebuild kits and universal carbs. Basically how I read it is that the various people are trying to say cheep compromise, if they list the same kit for cars trucks 1939 to 1962 you can pretty much bet its going to be a compromise.

Little points like the spring loaded fuel valves for marine and off road applications are of particular interest.

The points about the letting the vehicles stand causing problems with ethanol fuel mix is something that many of us have been figuring out.

Bob you are lucky to find a good, friendly, knowledgeable, carb shop. With these death of carburetors on production vehicles these will be harder to find.

CMP owners have heart though because they were built with Ford and Chevy engines that are beloved of Hot Rodders there is a better chance for carb parts going into the future than if CMPs had been built by Nash, Desota or Studebaker.

Cheers Phil
