Hi All,
Where is the best place to buy a carby rebuild kit. They are on Ebay. One for 50 buck and another for 100 bucks. Both look pretty much the same??
Thanks
Nick

Nick,
I bought a $70 kit on eBay, Fuelmiser for WW Stromberg. Later checked my local parts store, $35 for the same kit. Car Parts Plus Lonsdale SA. Sorry it’s not much help to you in the eastern states but just to say eBay can sometimes be dearer than walk in. Maybe try sprint or similar.
Cheers
Clay

Try Carburettor Service Company in Burwood, Sydney. Good prices, and will supply the correct base gasket and correct pump arm (incorrect ones for grey motor supplied in the kits) if you remind them. The Howarths have run the shop for more than 50 years. Good people, and know their Holdens.

Cheers,
Harv
