Hey folks,
Well, chalk one up to expensive rookie mistakes, I was replacing the fuel filter on my 68 mustang, 289 3-spd manual (stock), and the darn thing snapped off in the carburetor... had to go just a little too far. My carb info is: Autolite, 1.08, 8A AK, C8AF AK, A 8E9
Soooo, I've tried the easy-out drill bits, and some home-made concoctions to get the threaded piece out, and no dice. I know the carb could use a rebuild anyway, and with that said, what options do I have? I've found several carburetor service companies online, but who to trust?
In addition to Pony Carburetors, there's Carburetor Exchange, the Carburetor Shop, Custom Rebuilt Carburetors and Carburetor USA. I read on the mustang boards that Pony Carburetors are pretty popular, but pretty pricey.... anyone use someone else with good results?
I appreciate the feedback to help get my car back on the road.
