DC Case carbuerator wrench

[Anonymous-0]

Have a question for you guys I was always told that there was a special wrench to tighten the bolt closest to the block on the airbreather side of the carb. If so does anyone have a pic of it so that I guy can make one or does anyone have a way to make your own?

A trick I use is to loosen the air cleaner assembly bolt (right under the hood)and that allows you to swing the carburetor out far enough to easily tighten the back bolt. I also replace the studs in the intake manifold with short bolts so you can just swing the carburetor in and bolt it up. It works really well.

DON ,thats the best method i have heard so far,, MY DAD NEVER PUT THAT BOLT IN , when my b-i-l started helping Dad before us little guys were old enuf to tinker, he discovered that it was missing and used a lot of fancy words getting that bolt in there .. lol ... i usually loosen the airfilter and get a lot of play then draw it all back up ,, ,always worry i might stress and crack some casting ...s

Thanks for the tips guys I though aboutb loosing up the air breather but with these old trators less bolts tampered with the less chance of twisting one off if you know what I mean.
