randroid Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 Gents, After a year of sitting on blocks while I finished a '67 Bug for my Lady Wife I'm ready to put my '48 P-15 back on the road. It won't take much because it was my daily driver for years until I needed to find new brake drums for the front. Now I've got the drums sitting in the garage and the time to install them but I think it would be prudent to clean the carb and replace the accelerator pump, etc. The carb is a Ball & Ball (Carter) one bbl dd and I haven't a clue when it was made or for what but it's served me well over the years and I see no reason to replace it. Thing is, it has never had a tag on it stating its specific model so the boys at NAPA are having a bit of a time with finding the right kit. There are two sets of numbers stamped on the body: 0-370 5 and 6-429 I rebuilt it once before, sometime in the early '90s, and we (NAPA) were able to find a kit for it then, but I neglected to keep a record of the part number. Anybody able to steer me in the right direction? Thanks, -Randy Quote
PatS.... Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 Hygrade Carburetor Repair Kit, Division of Standard Motor Products. Part number 101A UPC# 0 21769 06648 2 There should be an alpha-numeric number stamped on the slanted fin over the bowl...that is your carb model number. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 Randy, There's a place in South Weymouth, MA that sells the rebuild kit. I think it's Antique Auto Parts or Auto Cellar or something like that. Check in the links. I got mine there. Quote
Dodgefran Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 "Then and Now" is the name of the parts dealer. (google their web page) It's a great place to shop. They take good care of you. If they didn't have in stock, they will search their contacts to find what you want. Quote
