PRZ OP member P Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 54 N.Y. Tioga	I'm looking for your opinions on a carb issue. I purchased a new carb from Chuck N. a Dom 1050, my car isn't finished yet.And probobly won't be for another month. There's a (friend of a friend), who asked if he could try it. Now I may sound petty, but I didn't spend $1300 on a carb for some1 else to try out 1st.I know how I feel, I'm just wondering how you guys feel about lettin some1 else test your parts before you do. Thanks

Someone on this sight borrowed a pushrod checker from me a while back ( I felt sorrow for him cause he said he was so short on $ ). Stupid me. Never heard of him or saw my tool again. At my age you would think I know better. Fastest 300

TRUST...plain and simple. If you can trust that person (and yourself), go with it; if not, don't whine and carry on if something happens to your stuff as that is ALL it is...just STUFF! Search yourself and not others. A wise man once told me..."the best advise is to give none and take none!"

LOL but seriously if the friend of a friend is that interested in the carb, he can pony up the money and get himself one. You didn't spend 1300 for someone else to have great carb, right? If you did, then don't get stingy now, i want one too!

Thanks I have lent freinds, not freinds of freinds, complete dnyo tested motor that I changed some parts on and I was willing to let them use and test it in thier race car. I have used other peoples race cars to test some of my parts on them with the condition I put them on at the track and I removed them the same day, they couldn't and didn't touch the part Other people that I trusted I lent them the parts and they provided me good feed back on them It depends on you and them I guess I wouldn't loan a person I don't know a new carb. Some people can screw up a steel 2500 lb. wrecking ball in a sand box with a feather Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

Thanks I put my carb on a friend's 406 sbc while my 408 was going together. I thought it was a nice opportunity to see how it worked and it turns out it was WAY better than his carb. He didnt want to give it back. Nice to see how it worked on a very similar engine to mine.

I can understand you point... for one thing your buddy/friend has some balls to ask if he can basically loan it out
