I got tired of messing around with the 1850's the way they were. I sent them to Quick Fuel Technology.they made them look as new .I had to realy examine them to see if they were infact the carbs I sent.
In their effort to make them look period correct they removed Things I was using .Like the vacuum nipple from booth the base plates below the primary float bowls.They were the only vacuum source ports I had. They removed the choke cam from the primary shafts.I had removed the mechanical chokes for shipping and they figured I didn't use them .I use the fast idle feature during warm up .They kept my secondary quick spring change covers. They removed the center three screws that held the base to main body .I found they do that on open intakes to keep the screws from falling into the engine .I can now see that. They removed all the epoxy that I had paid George Anderson to install in the unused channels in the underside of the baseplates. I now have to redo. I'm waiting for my missing parts to arrive from QFT now. I bought a new package of Moroso # 35560 epoxy.
What ever carbs you chose look underneith the baseplate and compare everything that would be outside the mounting flange of your intake manifold.Potential vacuum leaks. I mount carb with one gasket to manifold because of hood clearence issues and I don't need to add another 1/8" thick plate and gasket.
