Re: 1972 c10 307 carburetor options?

Assuming it isn't cracked or held together with duct tape and old wire, are you opposed to rebuilding it? Should be able to get a kit @ a fair price from a local parts house. I got mine from NAPA and it took me about 90 minutes total including 30 for soaking in the solvent bucket. Snap a few quick pictures of the linkages before you take the carb apart, nice to have a reference when you go to put it back together.

Might think about moving to an external fuel filter too, the stone job in the carb body has a much smaller surface area and will clog easier if there is any debris in your system. There was in mine, but my gas tank looked like a sieve after I had it dipped.

Clean rig you got there, enjoy.

Cheers,
Dan
