Hello everyone, I ran into another setback in my restoration project.* I have a carter 4 barrel carb with a broken mount plate.* One ear is broke off.* I ordered a rebuild kit and the local welding shop wasn't able to keep a weld to stick.* So I have a new kit but a uselesa carb.* Doea anyone know where I could just buy a bottom plate or anyone who's parting one out? Thanks
I've run into rebuild parts availability problems on a carter,chevy 1965 application. Had to buy NOS parts, spendy, only lasted one summer before failing. Ended up putting an edelbrock on, hope you have better luck.
All I have are early to mid sixties pontiacs. I'll ask around. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I would post a pic but the base plate is still at the welding shop. I haven't gone to pick it up yet sorry....
There are a couple of parts numbers in the Service bulletin on that carb in this link that might be useful. It looks like Cadillac started out with an aluminum base plate and went to a cast iron one. http://phscollectorcarworld.blogspot.com/2013/09/tech-files-cadillac-carter-wcfb-carb.html
I just really hope someone can come up with one or has one to sell to me.....I was going to look at a salvage yard. does anyone know what other cab will fit on my 53 Cadillac? or is the carter 2005S the only one? or.....what other type of car has a carb that will work that I could use? thanks
I had contacted them by email this morning I didn't realize that was the carburetor shop. just waiting for a response....
Not to hijack, but do you know about the Cruise in in Lewisburg next Saturday night?.-Search out Susquehanna Valley C.A.R.T.S.
The carb shop won't sell me just a throttle body. Anyone else have one they could sell me? I hate to buy a new carburetor just because of a broke ear....

Send me a picture of the base and the broken ear. I have old methods some modern shops never use. Maybe I can repair your old one.
