TVS on my coach had been demolished somewhere along the line.
Took GMCMH Parts Catalog Number (413473) to NAPA. It crossed
to Echlin Part Number 2-1001. Ordered and arrived 48 in hours.
NAPA give discount to military (active and retired). $25.65
plus $4.00 shipping, and $2.14 sales tax for total of $31.79.
Things worked when GM built it, going back to OEM as closely
as you can SHOULD give decent results.

Yes, BUT, the one Elephant in the room that nearly everyone seems to
ignore, is the reformulated crappola that oil companies continue to try to
convince us is gasoline. It just ain't so, folks, and never will be again.
What now, coach? We are tasked with making our 40 year old cast iron,
pushrod, carburetted engines, run on that swill. Everything from the
viscosity, to the Reid Vapor Index has been changed since Quadrajet carbs
were made. Fuel injection systems hold the most promise for the
flexibility required in my opinion. But, if carbs are working well for you,
ride that horse as far as it will carry you. Just my opinion, you are
entitled to your own.
