Yellow Pages, under "carburetors"? There are still some places that
carry carb parts, especially speed shops used by racers.

Hobby shops and real hardware stores sell brass rod, but a piece of
solid copper wire should be cheaper.

???
Now what do you want! The "pump disc ball weight" or "this small
rod?!?! What is the "pump disc ball weight"? Do you mean the
accelerator pump check ball? It will come in a rebuild kit. Got to a
junk yard and get another carb. They where very popular and
interchangeable.

The pump disc ball weight (exactly as on the parts list) is a small rod. If
I can get the diameter and length of it I can make one. Does anybody have
one they could measure?
Thank you.

Some have a weight above the checkball.
If I were you, I'd be off to the local you-pull-it to snag one out of
a complete carb.. they probably wont even charge you for it.

The checkball will be in the kit, not always the weights.

I think this is a 2150. If not, it looks the same as one.

Forgetting the name you are calling it, what part do you need help
with?

Forget how long ago was the last time I fooled with one of these. Yes
the directions and diagrams can sometimes use names that are really
nonsensacle. So...is it the metal linkage on the exterior of the carb
that links the throttle butterfly bell crank to the accelerator pump?
If so maybe you can make one out of a coat hanger. Or if it is any of
the other external rods maybe you can make one. But it will work
better and really be easier in the long run if you get one off another
carb. Check your friendlly neighbourhood pull it yourself junk yard.

Do you need it? If it is the rod that operates the accelerator pump
the car may be drivable but will not want to accellerate. You will
have to step on the gas very slowly to avoid it killing the engine.
But you maybe able to drive it. It might be helpfull to richen up the
idle mixture to get it to drive without killing the engine.

I had a '67 boat with twin Ford big blocks. They used Carter AFB's, I
think 4150's, but not important, I had to use Edlebrock carb kits to
get it running. Everything fit as the Edlebrock was a copie of the
Carter that was no longer made. Everthing except the accelerator pump.
It was a different diameter. So we drove that boat that way for years.
Just could not mash down on the throttle's.

So how about some more information. We love carberaters and do miss
them dearly.
