Nevermind. Just found it. Nothing to see here.

Hi, everyone. Okay, this is a little silly I suppose. 1968 Dodge, 383 engine, no AC. Just had a lot of engine work done and I'd like to find a replacement for a long-missing clip. On the passenger side valve cover is a bracket upon which the heater hoses were designed to rest with a...

And the endgame: bad gasket, after 38 years. Four cracked studs during the repair. Replaced manifold anyway with a MagnaFluxed spare I'd been keeping. Also had bad rebuilt carb, on the car for just a couple of years. Accelerator pump went bad. Replaced all of that plus a tune-up. Purring...

Here's hoping. I can't quite imagine the manifold cracking. I'm just hoping that it's not major surgery to get any cracked studs out. Except for the end studs, I'm betting the other four are pretty well rusted. By the way, as I've never had this happen before, I'm assuming it's just noisy and...

Hello, everyone. My Monaco has been in the family since new, so I have a complete set of records - and I've been in charge of the car for many decades now. I'm hoping for some additional guidance before I bring this to a new mechanic that specializes in older vehicles like mine and less...

Thanks, Ross. Just had a delightful conversation with their head of tech in Winnipeg. It's good to know there are still some very good companies out there.

For my future reference, anyone familiar with reman carbs by AutoLine Products Ltd. in Canada? Retail distribution in the US is via Rock Auto. Thanks.

Thought I'd update this group. Had a wonderful conversation this morning with Uremco's owner, who gave me a great education about the business, these reman carbs, etc. (All confirming the wisdom in this chat.) He even thought he recognized that 1998 reman part number I reported as being from...

Thank you!

Okay. Really last question for the night. (Maybe) Still looking at Uremco options. When I look at that Uremco replacement, I get different pictures depending on the site. The top photo is from their site - and this looks pretty much exactly as the Carter. The second photo is taken from an...

Thank you all. I'm getting closer to sorting out way(s) forward. I hope.

What if there's no stamp? Found that here - 15479B - https://www.stockwiseauto.com/walker-products-15479b-carburetor-repair-kit?fit_id=1166&Year=1968&Make=Dodge&Model=Monaco&gsID=pxf2624695f1166&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4py6oNP48wIV1N7ICh0tIwBPEAYYAyABEgJeAPD_BwE

One last question for tonight. Since the tab is no longer on the carb, how can I/he be absolutely sure about getting the right kit?

Thanks. He made a similar point about ethanol.

These photos help?

It isn't puking fuel. But there was a fair bit of grime around the vent. I'll post a few photos I took earlier. Maybe they'll mean something. Maybe not.

All good thoughts. Car has sat a lot. Too much, and that's been my fault. Fuel pump isn't all that old but I have one if needed and a fuel filter is a given. There was a time when I had nothing but trouble with carbs, mostly in the 1980s. I trusted folks when I should have asked more...

Thanks, Dave. Trying to figure this out while I have too much else going on. I know I can't tackle this myself. The carb may have other issues. Not sure what that little vent is at the top, but some gas may have let out there at one point. Really uncertain as to my best course. But you...

Hello, everyone. New to this site, but not to this vehicle. In the family since new. Hasn't seen much action in the last few years. Sainted mechanic/friend of 20 years passed and I've been in mourning since. Driven it rarely of late. COVID hasn't helped. Have a new mechanic, who seems...
