Think I may...may have an intake manifold should yours turn out to be cracked. Think mine is for a '59, and if so, would have to check my parts books to see if it would fit your '60. I am not that far from you so shipping would be at a savings. These parts are cast iron and heavy. Off chance I got one carb left, but almost certain it is for a '59 also, and a Rochester if memory serves. So probably struck out there. Clay/Lexi

 I have another intake, but i may be interested in your carb if it will fit my linkages, Is it a running one or does it need rebuild, tell me about it

If I still have it, it would require a rebuild. It may also have the idle speed up control on it. Clay/Lexi

I have other rebuilt carbs but they are not suitable for your car. I can put you in touch with a carburetor rebuilder in Ontario if need be. Clay/Lexi

Not many left, but Moffat Carburetion Specialties still rebuilds carburetors. Al can be still be seen attending the shows and has done 2 of my carbs. He is located in Jarvis Ontario, a hike for you, (perhaps 2.5 hours away?). Contact number is 519-657-9040. Think I have another one here somewhere if that one fails.  When you pick up your finished carb he first installs it on an engine mounted on a stand which he fires up. Don't recall seeing a bench flow tester, but seeing & hearing your rebuilt carb on an engine at pick up time is best. Clay/Lexi

You probably do not want to ship to far away. But my Rochester was rebuilt by Custom Rebuilt Carbs. They also test on an engine before shipping.

I just saw him at a show this April. If he has closed it must have been very recently. I will look for another number. Clay/Lexi

I will look when I next get to my storage area, but probably don't have one. I did find another number for Moffat  Carburetors; 905-515-3495. Sure hope he is still rebuilding carbs. He was set up at a booth at a car show this April still advertising his rebuilding service. Had a chat with him. Clay/Lexi
