Can anyone recommend a flathead V8 repair shop in the NJ - South Jersey area? I would appreciate any suggestion. Thanks!

I appreciate the endorsement. Unfortunately he's several hours away and that may be the problem, however still a possibility. Thanks, Andy

It depends on the diagnosis. Thanks for your info.

Does anyone have a list of recommended shops or individuals that repair flathead V8s and 3 speed OD transmissions in the New Jersey area? Thank you.

I also found that the K&N KA-1203 fits my air cleaners. They are 4" diameter x 2" high. Good Luck.

I just met Max through the internet for advice and a purchase. I was impressed with his knowledge, honesty and professionalism. Judging by all these caring comments, looks like I made the right choice. Get well soon Max. Andy

You guys are light years ahead of me, but I'm learning. Leakage is visible in several spots. Replacing washers and over tightening is a good possibility after checking and relighting several times. I agree with the warping idea but that remedy is out of my league. The discoloration may be the...

Here's photos. The seepage is discolored.

I just added 2 photos of the seepage to my photo album. Look closely and you can see the discoloration after one short ride. I carb cleaned them before I fired up.

You guys have been great with all the advice. Many thanks. My gas cap, tank and fuel line have been checked and are not the problem. Yes, I too put towels over the carbs to suppress the odor. I've been in touch with Charlie and wish we lived closer. I have photos to post as soon as I figure...

Still working on this... The 94s are leaking despite rebuilds. No other leaks. Looked into the Edelbrock 4-barrel but the manual choke is on the driver side, mine is on the passenger side. I'm leaning toward replacing the 94s with Speedway 9 Super 7s.

I am leaning toward switching my 2 - Edelbrock 94s to a Holley 4 barrel manual choke on my 53 flathead V8. Would you suggest I go to Speedway for the parts? I plan on driving my 40 as much as I can. Hopefully y The Hooel won't have the gas fumes that the 2 - 94s are leaking.

Many thanks to all of you for your advice. At first the rear 94 had a slow drip along with seepage from the fuel pump. Rebuilt the rear carb and replaced the fuel pump. Now the front 94 has seepage around the base. Both carbs are reasonably new from the previous owner. I checked the lines...

I have a 40 with 2 - Edelbrock 94s with a high rise manifold on a 53 flathead V8. I cannot solve the excessive gas fume problem in my garage even after rebuilding both carbs. Any suggestions on replacing the manifold and carbs would be greatly appreciated.
