While I was taking my BBD apart to rebuild it, I found a pair of plastic pieces sitting in the bottom if the pump housing, I didn't understand the purpose of these parts until I started putting the carb back together:

They are the two arms tha actuate the metering rods. Can I get this part replaced? Or am I stuck with a half rebuilt carb I can't use?

Thanks

You could try a product like Goriolla Glue, but your best bet is to nab a new plastic tab piece from a boneyard BBD.

Tried the Gorilla glue, wow! That stuff is tough! It's holding as of right now, we'll see how it goes, I may need to replace the carb anyhow, it's leaking a lot, and the shafts seem to have a lot play.

Lars- if you end up replacing the carb I would be interested in purchasing your old one.

Those plastic tabs are a very low stress piece so the gorilla glue should work fine (as long as the gas fumes don't dissolve it).

I'll let you know, I may not have gotten it clean enough. I've never had good luck with Carter's, Holley's have always been better to me, course fuel injection has always treated me the best. :P

LOL! I'm gonna hit up one of my favorite junkyards this weekend and see if they have any Holleys, maybe I'll get lucky.

I have a Holley/Motorcraft 2-barrel (2300?) off of a Ford 302. Sell it to ya' cheap if the carter doesn't work out or you can't find any other Holleys. Needs a rebuild and is greasy but other than that it is fine.

Will the kickdown linkage fit since it's off a Ford? I'm hitting the yard today, hopefully I'll get lucky.

No, you will have to do some engineering to get the kickdown to fit or fab a new one.

Well, no Holleys, but I scored another BBD for $15. It looks cleaner then the one I've got, I'ma give it a shot and see if it runs any better. If not they'll be up for sale on here for you guys.
