I cannot find a core to rebuild my Holley 1920...it has a little crack in the core, someone had it soldered and after that solder fell out, the carb runs like garbage. I found out it had been soldered when I disassembled it during a rebuild..there was a tiny piece of solder hanging around under the float. It ran great before it fell out, surprisingly. And runs great if I put my finger over the crack.

Anyhow- I can get it to run decently if I position the choke in just the right position to cover the crack, but if I stop- or go up/down too much of an incline it will cause gas to seep in and flood the carb.

Long story short, I am sick of playing with it. I just want to replace the carb- which I cant do at this point, simply by lack of finding one to replace it with.

So I was wondering if anyone has tried one of these universal 1904 carbs?

I'd really rather keep everything stock, but if this will allow my truck to run and drive for the time being until I can hunt down that magical unicorn of a R3615, then so be it. Just curious if anyone has tried this carb? Any success?? I am mostly concerned about the linkage and the ability to clip the air filter to it.
