    I used to have several of those carb plates. I'll have to dig through my junk and see if I still do. I do have an air cleaner, though I need to know if the carb is a Carter YF or Carter RBS, as the air cleaners for each are different.

    You will have to swap the whole rearend out when you do the 5 lug swap, the 5 lug axles will not fit in the 4 lug housing. A 5 lug rear from any year Maverick or '71+ Comet will be a direct bolt in. I have a 5 lug rear if you want it, it just needs new bearings on the axles. You can literally just have it, I'll even deliver it if you don't mind taking care of the gas money. I don't have any more disc brake setups, may try contacting Terry Hawkins (Hawkco) here on the board and see if he does.

    Tail light housings should be black on a Grabber with a black tail panel.

    hey jamie i talked to my nephew about that he said okay im not exactly sure on carb i had a hell of a time getting a rebuild kit for it the 2 that were listed at advanced auto wernt the ones had to go to autozone and they had one and im thinking its a holley if you could, could you bring both styles of air cleaners and one of those spacer plates the spacer plate on ours the tube area is broke and they repaired it by shoving a bullet shell in the hole and j b weld would 30 bucks be enough for gas?
    thanks Terry

    It'll be around the end of next month before I could deliver it. I recently started working 6 days a week again, 12 to 14 hour days Mon-Fri and 8 hour days on Saturdays. Will be like this for another month or so.
