thanks for the info. i replaced the valve cover gaskets today (bad leaks). the cylinder head casting number is 3795896. i've seen were this casting number is referenced as both a 283 and 327. it seems that i need to either rebuild the carter carb or just replace it. does anyone know of a reputable carb shop and/or what would be the best carb to replace my existing one. as stated in other posts, i'm a new guy to this and would appreciate any feedback to help clarify exactly what i have here.
thanks...jeff
