From timing sprocket to carb adapter...

Expert Posts: 3575 Location: Netherlands I needed an adapter to mount a newer open style airfilter housing onto the 'old' carter carb currently in my '57 Chrysler. I found an old timing chain sprocket, did some eyeballing and ran it on my lathe to turn it into a perfect aluminium adapter ring. Lesson: Never throw away your old and worn car-parts...

I don't have that type of thinking power to look at a problem and come up with a solution, no access to a lathe to make it happen!
