I apologize my friend! Looks like you're in good shape without my pictures! Your project is moving right along. Will PSMCD make you run that "255"? I'd lobby for you to "build" another carb and keep that one (along with your balancer) under wraps. If allowed, find and build a "251" or "253" for racing. </div></div>
Dave: As you mentioned I made out great getting jack info. (No Stress)
I have a normal balancer included in my engine build, Someday I will have my original W31 balancer rebuilt at the Damper Doctor in California but it would be for street use.
My original carb is leaving Monday for rebuild, if someone close to Lansing Michigan has a suitable similar core carb (or two) at a reasonable price I would consider it.
I looked into buying a second carb from NAPA, and the online mega carb sale places but too much money for what I feel I would receive.
I see so many messy carburetor stories of Franken-carbs, to cobbled-carbs, I am trying to stay away from troubles.
The PSMCDR rules are specific, but if I read them while tilting my head on a 45 degree angle I don't see any requirement that specific codes are stamped on the carb:-)
