Man thats super, I was sure it was to late!!

My car was missing the original carb when I bought it. A couple months after I purchased the car I went into shock when I discovered that I would need a dated 4554 for the car. I was depressed at the possibility and price, let alone the date issues. One day a week or so later I was pecking around evilbay and I was amazed to see an 052 "COMPLETE" 4554 with a BIN of $250.00. Needless to say the button was hit and the payment sent that instant!!!!

Got the carb, correct metering blocks linkages etc.

I look often and I have only seen one other, a week ago missing pieces, I think it had the wrong bowl, not sure about the blocks... etc.

To say the least I got lucky that day.



Sorry I checked the one last week was a 4490 not a 4554
