Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Phil? I paid for carbs and a hemi power brake booster setup a LONG time ago, got the carbs but not the booster. I'm now ready to set the engine (hemi) into my car but can't until engine bay is complete. I have left multiple messages with him but no response. My options are 1) wait until I get word from him or 2) drop serious $$ to buy another setup... (sigh) leaning towards #2 but then what to do with an extra booster setup.. Suggestions? Help??

I haven't heard his name mentioned in YEARS - I'd start looking at other options if I were you unless someone else has direct and recent contact info...good luck.

Give it a week and if you haven't made contact with him then Buy another, sell the refurbed one when and if you get it.

Newcomb's is long out of business as far as i know. Contact the ram man down in texas. He usually has complete boosters refurbished on ebay .

How long ago did you get these parts and not know youre missing stuff?

I tried getting a hold of him like 9 years ago, never did. I heard he moved out of Utah?

He was at Spring Fling a couple of years ago and I bumped into him. I've known him a long time (since late 1980's). He told me he was doing boosters. I needed one so agreed to his price. He also mentioned that he was doing carb conversions on new Edelbrocks to the smaller throat size. I paid him for both. Took awhile to get the carbs and all the linkage. Not a big deal then since I wasn't that close on my car. Now I am and so I started pressing him several months ago (8-9?)for the booster. Thought he was going to come through a couple of months back but now I can't get a hold of him. His voice mail is full and he doesn't respond to pages. Which is why I'm on the forum. Need the part but also worried about the $$. I figured something has happened (hopefully nothing bad) and either he or someone he knows will let him know I want to talk to him and (hopefully) get my booster. Staying positive here...

I have also known Phil since the late 80's, I've always considered him to be a good honest guy but had never had business dealings with him until a few years ago when I ordered some parts. He was very nice on first contact and assured me that what I needed would be shipped immediately abnd he would invoice me etc. then he flat dissapeared, I tried in vain to contact him for weeks and finally gave up, basically the same results as you. He never took my money so it's ok between us but I found it very strange that he does business that way?

He did move from S.California to the SLC Utah area about 7 years ago but I believe he has sinced moved again. He was doing business with Jeff Larson (Rocky Mountain Mopars) back then, maybe Jeff can lead you in the right direction.

I ordered a part from him in 1998....it still hasn't arrived. Thankfully my credit card was never charged.

He took me for a ride.We cut a trade deal...I shipped him 6 or 8 Bendix boosters on my nickel for the same amount of repro shifter linkage. I recieved one set of A body linkage about a year later after countless phone calls.Every time I called him I got the same excuse....the linkage is out at the platers or being hardened.
