Spanish owner

Hi all, to introduce my self i would say that this is a spanish owner of a 1955 super 88 in very original shape, bought buy my grand father, with manual gearbox, and Km speedo...

I am having problems with the carb, and thats how I find this page.

I am going to rebuild my 1955 rochester 4cg, and I need a complete rebuild kit plus some spares of the automatic choke, such as the bakelite cover, the spiral, and the very thin metal sheet behind the spiral!!

My problem is that I need advice of where to find that spares...

Regards

Fusick's Automatic can help you with the rebuild kit. You probably will have more luck on the other parts by finding a parts carb for a 54-56 Olds. The choke is the same.

Just for the record, I posted this early this morning and just reread it and saw the drastic misspelling of Fusick's. Tedd, you probably thought I was nuts. No more posts until I have had my coffee. Fusick's carb kits are ethanol proof also.

Or you can give Fusick a call, they ship overseas I hear. They are probably a little more expensive but they support the hobby and have stellar customer service.....Lost in the fifties.... Tedd....http://www.fusick.com/new_items.htm
