at CarbKit source, I'm finding kit #CK347. Is there a better source, how about any cross reference to NAPA, Autozone, Oreilly... those are main retailers in MN

I was unable to load a pic of the less than spectacular looking leak that seems to be originating from the Accel Pump, I thought if you just turned the radio up louder problems usually took car of them self

thanks

There is several kits out there and most will cover a bunch of carbs, aim for 1970-73 and olds, pontiac and cadillac.
Do not buy an old or NOS set, it should be as fresh as possible, under is a link to a kit on Ebay that works fine, scroll down to see all the carb numbers it does fit
