I recently go my '48 PW running with the help of a spare
carb off my 1974 Dart slant six. I just needed an adapter
plate between the intake and the carb to let the butterfly
swing open all the way. After 15 years the original carb
was full of bees so until my rebuild kit comes from Vintage
I bolted on the carter BBS and away it went. The engine
runs great and this weekend I drove it around the neigborhood
to check out the rest of the drive train. All is well, and
thanks Steve at vintage, great help, can't wait for the
parts to get here to do the brakes, (neigbors wouldn't mind either)
I have the combat wheels on it but would like to switch
to the correct split rims if anyone has some for sale,
also need tires similar to the originals if anyone has
some leads, (no military style please). Thanks
