Thanks for the response. CRC did call back and I told them what happened and of course I got "we never heard of that happening". They are suppose to call back after talking to a chemist. My concern is the ozidation that is now on the carb. Im worrying obout the functionability of the carb at this point. Its a shame that the car the carb came off of is a 71 LTD with 11,000 miles on it. Any more ideas on what to do?
