Inlet on the 1100 carburetor on the 300 in my '65 when I got it was just about stripped. Finally let go today. So I guess I need a whole new top. Where is a good place to find one? Anyone have a old carb core / top for sale? Thanks
Pretty used to this truck being reliable and on the road so hope it's not down for long.

Re: Autolite 1100
Go to auto outlet store and buy JB weld. Two part epoxy. Mix and insert a new brass fitting. Let set overnight and then re-hook the system. 'Ine held for over 5 years with no problems. I would cut the fuel line about 4-5 inches from the carb and insert a piece of rubber fuel line. this takes some of the vibration out of the line which I believe causes the problem. It's about a less than 10 fix.

GJ1963, I have a carb I took off a few weeks ago. $25 shipped if you want it.
