United Carburetor Caveat emptor
I picked up a rebuilt unit from United Carburetor here in Chicago, and it was all effed up. Still in the sealed plastic when I got it, I bolted it on today, I noticed that it had the incorrect rod for the Choke pull off, and I had to bend it 3/4'' to get it to operate. Also, the secondary tab on it, wouldn't even open up the secondarys with the pedal to the floor. I had to bend the crap out of it as well to get full travel. This was an exact factory replacement for my 307 and not a chevy carb rig in job. Supposed to be a bolt on and go. The air horn screws were hand tight which also could have been a disaster, but luckily I checked them out first.
Thankfully this was a freebie thrown in on a car parts trade. I would be pretty salty if I just paid $300 for that garbage.
Oh well, It'll do until I rebuild the original.
My advice...Don't get one unless it's dirt cheap.
