I have a Dual Jet that needs a rebuild that you can have for shipping cost; also the air tubes and an <a skimlinked="skimlinked" href="http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=air+pump" class="skimwords-link" target="_blank" style="color:#0000ff !important; text-decoration: underline !important; " data-skimwords-id="431548" data-skimwords-word="air%20pump" data-group-id="0" data-skim-creative="10203" data-skim-product="0" title="Drop Down Deals available on shop.ebay.com">air pump</a><span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span> from a 229 you can have. The air tubes are still in the manifolds so they may not come out easily. I can try to take them out this weekend if you want them.

The one at the wrecking yard doesn't look the same as yours. It may be a california emission or something. I also have a carb, the car ran fine, so it's a runner you can have for shipping. Not trying to knock Blaze in the ditch. Just PM me and I'll ship it. I'll post a pic in a little bit. I'm gonna go get my trans mount and we have a supercharged 07 Corvette coming in for Dyno time. I'll post numbers later on my Thrash thread just for giggles.
 
If it's worth it to you, you can buy those air injection tubes new and they don't cost too much. I checked Rock Auto and they list them from $7 thru $37 for an '83 Chevy 229 3.8. They're under emissions > air injection pipe.

It's easier than pissing around with corroded parts anyway.

...and That's probably the smartest way out of this mess!

Yes indeed! One thing I've learned as I get older is that sometimes those couple of extra bucks spent are well worth it! :wink:
 
Amen to that!! Especially fragile junk like thjose lines! I snapped a pic of this carb too- Like I say, ran good, no need for a rebuld. If you want it, give me a jingle 425.239.5562-Matt If I don't answer, leave a messsage, the Dyno is loud!

I can use a carb mine works but pretty crapy it needs a rebuild jus leme kno shipping to 95204 and I found the air pipes for around 40 buks local but I dont really wana buy new ones if im doin it just to pass smog than ima take the motor out
 
My air tubes are not going to come out. I sprayed them with PB Blaster and let them sit. Then tapped the manifold with a hammer and sprayed them again. I put a line wrench on the nuts and they broke free, but the lines twisted with the nuts. I guess after 30+ years in the northeast they are junk.

Sorry but I tried.
 
Trying is good enough for me I think im just gonna buy some new ones and call it a day lol but thanks too all for all the support and help good crowd of gear heads we have here on this forum and shout out to ringers thanks on the carb
