Eric, When you say EARLY housing what is the difference between the early and old units?
I have one drum to drum that was taken out of an ELCO but I am not sure what year. It has
a 4:10 gear. Hear is the clincher..... The lower control arm brackets were cut off and they
welded leaf spring pads on it. I was going to pull the gears and unit out for another project.
The upper sway bar mounts are in place. The spring pads will come off easily, and it’s not a
problem welding on new control arm mounts. I don’t know how involved you want to get but
If you’re interested come and get it. You did me right with the 4557 I brought off of you so if
possible I would like to return the favor somehow… http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
BTW, Your carb’s are still the standard that other Carb Restorers hope to achieve http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Mark;
The early 12 bolts (`65-`67) are roughly 5/8" narrower on each side than the `68-`72 units are. While they'll interchange, the difference in width can sometimes lead to funky tire fitment issues, esp. when running a non-stock tire size.
I'll PM you for details on picking it up.
re: the 4557...
Thank you, sincerely. I appreciate the kind words more than you could know. However, I know a couple of other restorers who might argue your last statement lol http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Speaking of carbs, just so you know, I'm back to doing restorations again.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again...
