His business in Missouri is building carb kits. He can be reached at 573-392-7378, Mon-Wed 9-4 Central time.
I got a kit for my Carter updraft in my '50 COE from him. I have used his kits in my Carter YF for my '51 pickup with a 216 and also a Zenith 28 in my Diamond T. All I can say is they work and if I had a problem (I didn't), he is very helpful over the phone.

They also sell carburetor kits. I ordered a Carter updraft rebuild kit from them several years ago. A friend of mine had his Carter updraft rebuilt by them, & sent along my updraft as a favor, for a trade I made with him. They did an excellent job. I posted a thread with pictures about it in the Big Truck section of the discussion board of www.oldgmctrucks.com. | | |
