What? I haven't bought a copy of Hot Rod since the sixties. I will admit that I may have thumbed through a copy on a newstand when I was bored...
So that's why I can't find any!:D
Sometimes it pays to take a chance. There are a couple of threads on "The Ford Barn" where guys bought the Chinese replacement carburetors,...

For oddball stuff like this, I go to Restoration Specialties and Supply Inc. They have an incredible selection of, well, "junk". They are a source...
