I was looking into ordering a new (rebuilt) one, but have been seeing a lot about the carter yf carbs. would this be a better carb for my truck? its one of those things that I enjoy driving, and when it actually gets used, its used a lot. but it sits a lot during the winter months also. I was hoping someone who might have experience with both could chime in and kind of offer some advice. thanks in advance for your help. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | boonie, try using the Stovebolt Search function. This subject has been discussed hundreds if not thousand of times here on the “Bolt”. Some interesting reading to be had.
