If anyone is running a two barrel carb, and needs it sorting out then this guy on Ebay is very good:

Can be a bit of a minefield buying "rebuilt" carbs, but i've just fitted one from this guy and the car runs a million times better as a result. I stripped it down when it arrived and it was very good quality.
For the record he had a Carter 2 barrel listed for £80 or best offer. I offered £60 and he accepted. Plus £20 post (no customs charge). Took 2 weeks to arrive.
The carb has no markings or casting numbers, but the results spoke for themselves.
A new carb for £80 all in with no core charge?? Can't be bad... Plus paypal will sort you out if theres a problem.
He doesn't seem to have any 4 barrels listed but might be worth pinging him a message.
Thought i'd share this, as its always nice to be pleasantly surprised!

Remanufactured carburettors
"If its a job no man can survive, he's the man for the job"
I have one of them
not used it
my intention was
take the throttle plates jets rods springs out of my standard carb and use them to configure this replacement
on the whole you will find that
1) the supplied gasket is rubbish
2) the rubber pipe for the choke kicker is rubbish
3) the carb base is very good and unlike the originals is bushed from the factory
4) the top body of the carb is very good
5) it seemed on a par with a rebuilt carb
see this list
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/sherryberg188/ ... =808198034
the first carb is a HI/TIN TOP carter BBD (late version)
the second is a low top BBD (earlier)
the low top versions are missing the paper clip spring on the accelerator pump rod that goes through the top cover bowel vent
so you need your one off your old carb
these appear to come out the backdoor of a factory in china that makes carbs for US aftermarket suppliers who brand and box them themselves, because US folk seem to think everything made in china is rubbish.
