    Our family car was a Checker cab. I think it was a civilian owned car because if it had ever been a cab it had been hidden very well. No box mount, no holes where the box was. It had enough room in the back seat that my brother and I could sit on the floor and fool around with matchbox cars. It was a great car.

I owned a 52 Desoto Custom Sedan, that I bought from a guy in Pelham NH in 1986.Six volt system. Always started. I drove that car for 30 years. Had the flathead six and the "tiptoe' semi automatic.

    This model was introduced as The Superba in 1960, later changed to The Marathon. Not sure what year the wagons came out. There was also a switch from Continental to Chevrolet engines fairly early on.

I've probably driven through there 1,000+ times. I also remember around 2005-2007 there was a "dummy" old cop car at the end of town and it sat there for years to influence people to slow down. The twist of it all was there was many many bullet holes in the windshield. So if you knew, you knew 😂

    I've got a '70 Dodge W200 with a 383 Magnum (factory) and 4 speed. Mine has a dealer added A/C with a York compressor. To answer your question, NO, those AZ carbs are trash, like most of the commercially available rebuilds. Most 'look' nice but just don't run. Best just to rebuild your own old one. I have re-bushed those carbs before. There was a company that sold kits to do it. Chicago Carburetor or Corvette or something like that. BTW, thats NOT a standard practice on those rebuilds to bush the shafts. They actually had no bushings when new. Problem with the 'remans' is they glass bead or media blast them and you NEVER get all the junk out of the small idle passages.

  • @skeltane

    In my experience. A good carb should work right out of the box. New or rebuilt. W/ a possible little adjustment of course. Just saying.

      I've switched to HFC-152a over a decade ago and it works beautifully. Just as cold as R12 and lower head pressures too. Just flush the system and run Ester oil and charge at 52-55% capacity of the R12 recommendation. It also is less prone to leaking. Mines been running 12+ years in one car with no issues or top off.
