Wanted...Insulator for Carter Carbie

[59 hearse]

Urgently seeking the bakelite insulator for between the two gaskets on the Carter Carby for the 390 V8 on our 59 Hearse. Exisitng one is broken into 3 pieces. The one we are after is the one without a port at the back.
Desperately seeking as the hearse is dead without it.

I got my bakelite insulators from NAPA & CarQuest. I don't know if you can order them or not from their respective site.

I've bought them for a 500 Caddy, a 351M Ford & a 390 Ford. Try them, they might have it for the 390 Caddy.

Good Luck

Many thanks for the help I found a local place that sells the bakelite in the same thickness and type. They also machine it up to make perfect copies of the spacer. A good result. Thanks for those that offered help. Cheers Kaz

mine isnt to bad, just the nipple for the fronts broke partially, looks like i will try to cut it off and drill and tap the isolator for a barb fitting and epoxy its threads in there. just trying not to destory it in the process, i will take you up on the offer if i do destory it beyond use.
