I went with Diamond forged in my SBO. Did you find a block? Let me know if you need help searching for one. Uh oh, sounds like we might have another Oldsmobile junkie on our hands........

Dave, you must have bought those a while ago as I've heard from more than one person Diamond quality control has really gone down hill lately.
I'd suggest CP's and BTR in NY has a nice deal.

Albert's carb before/after:



















We were originally hoping to do a basic rebuild, but when I found the self-tapping inlet fitting (with no filter) and the corrosion &amp; debris inside the bowl (4th and 5th pics) it became a restoration since the bowl would have to be media blasted to address the corrosion.

Just another day on the job.

Thanks again Albert for letting me be a part of your build.
