Okay cool i picked up a couple of rebuild kits... one for the moto and one for the holley so that it can be useful (it may have a sunken float) thanks for all you input guys

I don't have the adjust a jet, but it looks like it usesa tapered rod to adjust the jet orifice size. Would be great for a street car, as well as a race car. Changing a jet size to compensate for winter vs summer would be so much easier and you don't have to worry about spilling fuel all over the place.

looks like the carb is a 4300 D based on the manual and pictures. the standard 4300 gaskets doen't fit my carb. Is this a rare carb? i really cannot find a whole lot of info on it. Is it just as good as the 4100?

The 4300D is the spreadbore carb. Just make sure you have the matching intake. If you have the stock intake for a Q-code, it will work. Like was mentioned earlier, it will work great on a stock engine. I think it is rated at about 610cfm which is plenty for a stock 351c engine. Too big a carb for an engine will just waste gas.

Pony Carbs is a great place for a rebuild. I purchasedfrom them cause I didn't have a core to rebuild myself. Was a bit pricy, around $450 I think (included 150 core charge) but worked great right out of the box. Would do it again if I needed another carb.
