Carb Issues...

[TehNewGuy]

So I knew I was on barrowed time with my carb when I bought it, but there was so much stuff to do and it was running fine so I forgot all about it. Until she left me stranded for a hour and a half on Tuesday. Good thing is I got her home no problem, but when I went out to find a Carb rebuild kit I could not fine one down here in a auto store. So I am wondering were you guys got your carb rebuild kits from, and how much they are? ( still don't have a lot of money to play with) Its a 250 straight 6 with a single barrel Rochester I think the number on it is 27708 but its faint and a stamp... I also found the number 68 down near the bottom, is this the year it was manufactured? Pics to follow..

I use these guys for my carbs. They will rebuild it or restore it with the correct finishes if you want.

Awsome just called one down here and they will have it by tuesday! They claim its not under the specified truck parts list for some reason but after I gave him the part number there it was... guess its a glitch or the system needs to be updated. Im going to clean it out myself and soak all the internals for a night and then make new gaskets from some material I have lying around so I can slap it back together and drive to the car show on sunday! Then do it all over again when the new stuff comes in. Thanks again guys.
