New boots and retainers

<< < (2/2)

Cliff Ruggles:
The demand for them isn't really great enough to take on that adventure.  I would only move about 1-2 a month.  One has to consider how rare Pontiac Ram Air carburetors are right to start with, and not too many of them being rebuilt these days. 

Since the non Ram Air airhorns aren't machined for the retainer, they really don't work well anywhere else.....Cliff

Thanks Ethan for posting the link!
For me I have been looking for those boots for my two sr carbs for over a year and they just aren't complete if that darn boot is missing ..
I ordered some kits from you Cliff about a year or so ago and at that time you were out of boots and we had a discussion about making them.LOL
Now I just need to cut a groove in my accelerator pump to fit them.

 Indeed. They are quite rare. Even the SR's are hard to find sometimes. Good point. You could be doing a whole lot of other manufacturing than something that is already being sold now. Best wishes, Cliff.

 You're welcome! I'm glad they make them as well now. Hopefully someday everything will be reproduced on these carbs. Especially the A/C Dashpot on a 500ci Cadillac. :-\
