Hello to all of my friends.
It has been almost two years and health is causing me to sell off all of my stovebolt inventory. I even sold my 54 3100 for $36,500.00 unfinished. I have all the parts that need to be put on but, the next owner will take care of that.
I had the pleasure of owning my little buddy for 47 years. Restored twice (once after massive damage). It is sad and difficult to let him go but, it is time to let someone else enjoy.
I'm still in Kissimmee, FL and I have a lot of unpacking of stovebolt items to sort. I just don't have the strength to put up with these over 100 degree days this summer. I'm a Florida Cracker but I want to try being a snowbird. I really enjoy the cooler weather and my ancestral home, Peoria.
I may be posting this in the wrong place, bare with me and I'm sure it will come back.
Some off my items I want to donate the sales to Stovebolt.
I'm a diehard when it comes to my Rochester B's. I have found in the past that most of the serious problems that occur after rebuild is warped casings. I have seven that have been meticulously rebuilt but dang .... wouldn't you know it's the one I have on ol '54 smuts up the spark plugs which means that after replacing plugs four times, I will change the carb. It is in beautiful condition (aesthetically), but I have absolutely no idea why it is a dud. Only thing I can imagine is the throttle body chamber.
I hope I'm in the correct forum.
Doc
