Have a customer wanting nuts to secure the carburetor on a Chevy 6 to the intake. I buy this stuff in boxes of 100, pretty sure I have the correct parts, but no sample.

Carter part number 105A-13 was used from 1932~1949, but I have no sample by that number, and too lazy to get out the microfiche conversion equipment.

Guessing 5/16 x 24???

Thanks in advance.

Jon

I’m fairly certain you are correct. I can look this afternoon to verify.

Well...let me check again. I eyeballed the 5/16 part but used the thread gauge on the 24 measurement. Jerry's probably right.

3/8 it is.
