The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) When you have an ODSS Brother, what else do you need?

As many know, at Homecoming one of the major projects was a rear end swap on Old Charlie. The Stovebolt flagship truck.

Since then, John has enjoyed time in the left lane PASSING traffic.

With higher speeds, it will show other areas of the truck that needs updating. In John's case he had a leaky carb.

John decided to have his carb rebuilt. He can give all the specifics but Charlie was offline so to speak.

My youngest son Rocket and I went to HQ to put a spare carb I have so Charlie could still be driven. When we went to install we found that Babbitt 235's have the same carb spacing as a 216 so my carb wouldn't work.

John grabs his phone calls Mike B. Mike has a garage larger than some homes but no carb to fit.

John then calls Mike Roache. He had a 216 as a spare and not only had a carb, but the same Carter W-1 Charlie did.

We snatch it and installed on Charlie and presto! Running truck again!

Thanks to Mikey for saving the day! Goes to show you can alway rely on your brothers in a time of need!!
