Where do you find those small retaining clips for an Edelbrock carb? I am talking about the ones that would the linkage together at the power valve.

I haven't lost one YET, but almost.

Thanks

If you mean the real thin circular wire clips that hold the top L bend of the metering rod to the piston, an eddy strip kit or an OE afb/avs

I got nothin', sorry. I was hoping to find these little dudes somewhere before I lost one without having to buy a kit. I haven't checked the hardware stores yet.

I have a spare S rod from an old eddie/carter carb,you can have it, shoot me your addy.

Last eddie rebuild kit I got did not have those in it. I need a couple myself. it has never come apart with out them,but I like to have them in case.

You may find some E clips/hairpins at the hardware store or in the eddie catalog

That's where I'd start. Don't go to the big box stores, but instead go to Ace or True Value. Ask for help. Those guys are usually very good at what they do. Hillman, or National, witch ever vender they are using carries these, and several other clips.
