Where to buy Carburetor Rebuild Kits.
Around 1982 my daily driver was a 1966 GTO 3x2. Hi-Octane gasoline had basically disappeared from the Chicago area so we were using additives (something like 104+?, etc.) which helped but accelerated needle wear especially on the center carb. I put in the Super Tomco kits with the washer style needle/seat assemblies and never had to mess with the carbs again. Last year when I wanted a couple of kits for my AFB style carbs I called Tomco and they put kits together with those needle/seat assemblies, same price for other reputable kits. That being said, the regular needle assemblies available today are made of much better material and will stand up 100% better for today's fuels than what was available 40 years ago. I just figured if the Tomco's were available I'd get them based on my past experience with them.
