Greetings and salutations,
Once again I come to the ever wise and all knowing list. I am on a few
quests. One was to find a license plate lens for my Burb, which was
accomplished yesterday!! I found a COMPLETE tail light assembly for the
burb clamshell which makes me believe that that tail light was used on
something other than Burb clamshells. Oh, yes the price was FREE. :-) Yes
I'm doing the victory dance.
This guy has 2 1/2 sets of very nice bullet lights that are very similar to
the 39 Chevy lights except they only have a one filament bulb with a clear
lens. I took some pics that I will post later. Yes the guy wants to sell
the bullet lights but first he wants to ID them.
I was also on a quest to find a few sets of matching carter carbs. One set
for a 216 and one set for a 261. I found a set for the 216 (not for me
unfortunately) which has a different base than the 261. Can the bases be
swapped for the same carb model?? For instance, I found a 787S carter that
fits the 261 and a 787SB that fits the 216. Could I put a 261 base on the
787SB??? I can't recall what the base number is for each kind right now but
do you see where I'm going with this?? Also what is the difference between
a Carter 787'S' and a 787'SB'?
I have to clean the license plate lens now, so I will sign off.
