Restoring R 4218 Holley and need some help - 04/01/11 06:14 AM

I have a few parts that I am wondering where to get replacements and I am also wondering if they are factory parts.

Ill post what I have right now, maybe someone can help.

This is the feed to the front bowl its R 4218. Is this ribbed nipple that you can pick up anywhere, an actual factory MOPAR part?

Ill post more pics and questions later as I continue to refurbish the carb.

Doin this just for the hell of it cuz Im kinda wheelchair, crutch bound right now.

Well, made some progress on rebuilding the R 4218.

Figure Ill rebuild it and maybe someone can use it down the road since it seems to be unique to the application.

Still looking for secondary vacuum diaphragm.

Before:

He is 3!

Some after shots...learning a lot of the "secrets" of gettin it nice and clean.

May send it out for the dichromate finish as it has been removed. I guess there is a redneck way in a can to get this finish back lol
