Looking around for gaskets, needle valves, O rings and outboard carb. diaphragms and purple and yellow springs to renew my six pack. Anyone have a source that has good stuff at reasonable prices? I've found some stuff on ebay from 3 sellers but no one single shop has everything to combine shipping. I know about "ProMax" but they kinda spanked me on shipping and handling for a carb to intake gasket last time. (Hey I'm on a budget here!)  :scratchchin:

i bet Mancini could get you in the right direction.

http://www.manciniracing.com/

don't rule out summit either......   http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-3-396/

I pulled this off a thread I found...
"Go on e-bay. Type in six pack carbs under parts accessories in the ebay motors section. Scroll down until you see six pack carbs by thepartsladi. Click on her other auction site. She sells genuine Holley 396 kits, 3 for $75 and I have yet to beat that price."

Then I also pulled this off the same thread...
"Depending on your experience and what you want to do with these carbs, you may want to consider shipping them to Promax or Harms. The cost difference may be worth it to you in the long run, as there are some issues that one needs to be aware of when rebuilding and tuning them. They are both experts."

Almost every road leads back to Promax it seems. ::)

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

Thanks for the fast reply guys!  :2thumbs: They are working good now just noticed tiny brown seepage film on the top of the outboards (center is Holley rebuilt, fine.) and thought time to redo gaskets before any issues. Diaphragms and springs were for testing reaction rates against my now running very well 440. All 3 guys on ebay sounded great and are willing to work with me, I just figured I'd check with all my Charger Brothers first. In the past I'd have saved quite a bit of hassle if I'd checked in here before committing my hard earned bucks! The boys at Pro Max do know their stuff! (Like how that center carb. to intake gasket needs to be a bit wider in the front!)
