I want to see your local NAPA guy deal with that. As far as the carb goes, the replacement is a dimensional duplicate that NHRA allows because the original carbs are almost impossible to find. These types of replacement parts are very common for all motors regardless of brand in Stock and SS, not some conspiracy theory.
Oh yea I am familiar of all the hard work and hours of labor that is put into the combo as I ventured into possibly running the combo ?I was just off put by the response he had when I had a question regarding the gentleman that did them haha.
