Hey Chappy,

Dad and I are just trying to step the ole wagon up for next year. Plan is to run the wagon as a battery relocation car with the glass hood in "B". We have already located much of the hard parts like intake, heads, block, rods, and pistons, but no luck on the carbs. We would like to find a couple that are complete basket cases so we could refurbish them ourselves, but at this point we might just take what we can get. With any luck we should have the car out the first of next year. Thanks for chiming in. It was good to hear from you.

Have a great holiday,

Gary Jr.

Jr, give a call to Dale Cubic at CFM racing carburetors. He is one of the best kept secrets for building Holley carbs for racing. There are many guys in SS/AH, Modified and Comp running his cabrs.

By the way, he is a Ford man, used to race Cobra Jets and knows the applications very well.

On ebay you can plug in what you are looking for. Otherwise, the daily "look see" will turn you into a vegtable!
Example: just search "C5AF" or "Ford 427 Holley". After looking for nearly ten years for AMC cross-ram Holley's (very rare), I figured this out. You'll get an e-mail notice once a carb is placed on e-bay. Hopefully the seller knows it's a C54A or 427 Ford part (I think most ebay sellers of Ford parts usually do) As I found out, there may be a buy-it-now and your in business. I now have two nearly complete carbs (main body, base plate & metering blocks) and one spare main body. I think I have about $1200 into all three. One pair, once restored, can go for as much as $5K so it was worth the hunt.
Have fun!
