VWNate,

I feel ya bro....I once test drove this guy's 1976 Pontiac Bonneville and made an appointment with him to buy it twice and both times he flaked. He later hunted me down and called me (at my job back then) but I was so fed up with him by that time that I told him to get lost. Some people.....looking back I probably should have gone for it but oh well.

All I got done today was I picked up the NAPA version of the carb rebuild kit and float and this time, inspecting the box before leaving the store (see I am learning!) it seems unopened and the float is brass not plastic,

I am therefore happier for having to return the kit from Advanced Auto.

I hope to drop both carb and kit off to a garage for the rebuild Monday, unless I change my mind and (after quickly manning up) deciding to do it myself.
