New U & J float valves - Going once...going twice...Gone! Thank you all

I am in the process of resurrecting a small pile of U & J carbs and am making new Viton-tipped float valves for them

If there is any real interest in having more made, I might make more

They will have a hook which will force the valve open (won't stick) and must be mated with a float that has either an early Holley hinge or Kingston L-2 hinge (lift tab is long enough for hook to fasten to)

BTW - there is no other "guy" anywhere who makes these...this is it

Send EMAIL to express interest - thank you

Re: U & J float valve - any interest?

Due to the scarcity of this carb, interest has been understandably light.

I'm blanking out the valves today and will stay set up for blanks for a day or two and that's all. After that, what has been blanked will be finished and used or sold.

Beyond what I need and the fellows who have expressed interest, plus a couple extra, that will be it, so if you're dithering, get off the pot. This is opportunity knocking.

They're in the pipeline and only going to be offered once - there just aren't enough U & J's around to make stocking these things worthwhile.

Don't look to Fat Boyz Hot Rod Shop, much less your "expert carb rebuilders", to supply these, as they either can't or won't make them for you

I have such a carb and manifold. I may end up selling the pair. Should I buy one of your valves to have one with the carb?
