    So I finally rebuilt the carb and it runs great. But...... it has a vacuum leak from the throttle shaft after it warms up that sounds like a tea kettle! I seriously need to replace my throttle shaft bushings.

    What I am trying to find out is if the DG series and the DF series use the same throttle shaft bushings. I found a kit here: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=5949 and it's for DG series carbs. I can't find one for DF series. Anyone know if they are the same? I can drive the truck since it's such a small leak, but it's really obnoxiously loud... I mean ear piercing loud! Figures it's ready to go and something like this happens. :rolleyes:

    Any help is appreciated. I'm so close to driving this it's frustrating! :brickknock:

    The DF series doesn't have throttle shaft bushings. I'll have to ream out the hole for a brass bushing ala rebuilding a Holley.

    Oh well. :doah:
