Hot Rods Stromberg Jet Storage

excellent

 

Good stuff, and I’m loving your re ignited fiending for the coupe.

 

I'm one of the wire guys, keep them strung on a single strand of copper, sorted by size then all in a ziploc bag in a surplus electronic equipment box.
tools are as found, usually at estate sales.
here a Plomb jet wrench with misc carb tools in a Carter Carburetor tool box.

 

Clever thinking !!! Very relevant.

 

My first thought seeing the printed box was that it kinda reminded me of some fuse panels I’ve seen in hot rods placed on the inner cowl side. Which then made me wonder how hard it would be to make one of these boxes into a little travel tool kit and put it right under that cowl mounted fuse box.

maybe make matching boxes for each of them?
Some case foam could get rid of the rattling but between the grid and the printing the options seem pretty unlimited.

 

Timm, Have you been to Harry J. Epsteins in KC yet? They have some nifty little Japanese boxes that they recently started carrying.

if you haven’t been, it’s a tool history shop and everything is for sale.

 

Yeah....I was going to comment on your Snap On jet socket and your desire to ignore everything else but tune....
enjoy the quest for smooth horse power on command

 

Yeah.....Just reminded me to check in over there again.

 

@sodbuster not for a long time but I keep up with them online. Amazing spot!

 

Same exact box that my chain breaker from DID came in.....from Japan

 

If one is looking for "portable", a fishing "dry fly" box is compartmental, light, and easily fits in the glove box.

I got one from Holley some years back.. I'll post a picture of it later today....

 

I just use those daily pill containers that you use to set up your doses for the week. In the machine shop my grandpa used to say, "Don't make work were there isn't any". Nice little project though.

IIRC that socket is # TM-42. You can find them on E-bay frequently. If you don't have the socket on perfectly straight while trying to remove a stuck jet you may crack the socket. I already cracked 2 of them. E-bay is my source for replacement as the Snap-On truck can't get you a replacement.

 

Okay...made me show my "jet" box..itz a KAR Products box...you can find them at swap meets from time to time. The plastic containers are Gerber baby food containers...they fit perfect and double up the tray space

 

Can someone post the Snap-On part numbers for the 97 jets socket and the power valve socket?
I have been using plastic boxes for 94 pieces & parts and have a couple of the clear plastic flat trays drilled for Stromberg jets.

 

Post 21 had a Snap-on part number...and the one I have is a TMC 42
I use a flat blade screwdriver to loosen and snug the power valve and the pictured split blade screwdriver to retrieve and place the power valve from its depths with just the carb top off ....saves on removing the whole shebang ....I also find it helpful to chamfer the accelerator pump bore opening to assist with reloading a wet pump leather so as not to fold the lip over on the leather

 

Don’t forget, the poodle has a 9:00 appointment with the groomer!

 

not all were gifted you by a family member of Ed Iskendarian.
that makes yours quite rare.

 

Found at a sale for less than a pair of rebuild kits. Crammed full of NOS parts. Sometimes you get lucky.

 

Cabellas usually has their flat boxes for small fishing tackle pieces (they call them utility boxes) on sale Around this time of year. My wife has one for her earrings.

I have a carb tool box, but I started it before I started getting into older cars. It mainly has parts for Quadrajets (lots of jets, hangers and rods), 2 Jets and 4 Jets.
