I had a person contact me a several years ago. I posted an ad for a part I was looking for on the H.A.M.B. I found that the search went outside...
I bought a rebuild kit for my 94 Ford carb with the new style rotary float valve from him-no problems.
I would get dizzy watching those go by!
I bought the black wheel in 2014 from a hamber and repaired it with some two-part epoxy putty from Amazon in 2015. ($50.00) I was lucky enough to...
Sounds like you got that straight axle figured out. any pics of it? Also, we really do need pics or it didn't happen! Just Kidding!

Hey Lloyd, that sounds good. I can probably win at that! At least my odds of winning are better! See you'll soon!
