Terrys 65 TRIP GOAT

  • I had no room to get on E-Bay and source two end carbs. They were well over $500.00 or more just to find a set. The E-Bay carbs are usually warmed over piles of shit just like his. Oftentimes you buy them and find the same problem.

  • So I went ahead and made a set out of later model Rochester Carburetors. In all actuality it takes me a bit more time and labor to perform this task. I really do not like it but in Terry's case the difference would be about $1000.00 less in the bill.

  • In almost all cases I will never do this. In this case The Customer was Right and I ran with it. There are many obvious differences in the carburetors but all in all they will function correctly, have better fuel filtration and get his car back to hi...

  • I am still glad that I at least got to perform to my usual standards on the center carburetor. That was my goal and by getting to do the job right when I have to work on it again I feel good seeing evidence of my desire to exceed others expectations.

  • Problem is though there are many different ways that items can be manufactured, swapped out or just plain lost thru repairs such as this. Unfortunately these replacement, lost parts all add up and the car suffers. Those that know watch this happen ov...

  • I am still very happy about the condition of the center carburetor. Fact is that the core that made this one was not correct either. It was close enough and I remanufactured it to as close of a spec as I could.

  • In each shot there are noticable differences even in this carburetor. Now the biggest mistake you can make is when you tie your mechanics hands and tell him to do it on the cheap.

  • If you were to take a close gander at the Thermostatic Choke Coil you would see differences. The Rochester Script on the outside of the Choke is not there. The correct screws to hold down the Choke are not there. They were Black Phospate Colored. T...

  • Here is an example of a core carb that was way better than his. At least this baseplate and main body are serviceable but look at the cracked upper Air Horn. This adds about $150.00 to the cost to remanufacture this carburetor.
