Default Who would be the Carb man for Carter WCFB’s

I automatically looked at Dean but he is impossible to get to even though he just did a Carb for my son - I either have to continue trying to get him or look elsewhere- Thanks for your input- Bob

Steve Wann is the best I know for our Carter AFB/AVS. Perhaps he
would do WCFB's.

He put a enormous amount of work in has carbs = Miles more work
than I ever did doing them!!!!

His work is not free or cheap.

My chassis builder told me along time ago:

If you want good Oats - You need to pay a good price.
Now if Oats already gone thru the cow are OK -
You can name your own price.

For years I ran two of those things on my ‘56.
The rear float has a notch in the bottom to clear the rear “secondary” throttle shaft. I ran a rear float (with that notch) in the front, also. More fuel in the bowl. When we went to Super Stock, with big camshafts, I began to see dark spark plugs.
Pulled my head out, decided my primary metering rods were not down where they belonged at idle, and on the return road. A wooden match stick standing on the metering rod
piston so I could see how the piston & rods were responding.
I first clipped the springs, but found it lean going down the track. Metering rods not rising enough at low vacuum/Wide Open.
I tweaked that linkage to manually raise the rods to the smallest/Power step on the rods.
I finally worked on the profile on the plastic meteor rod “cam”.
The carb Pros may have slicker ways, but I set records, and won races like that. No expense.
I messed with weaker springs under the P.E. Piston, but never found what I needed at both Sea Level & Altitude tracks. Lower manifold vacuum is effected enough with low Baro values at higher elevations caused caused issues with weaker metering piston springs. Thus I went to raising it manually.
Hope this helps somebody.

I have never had anything approaching a bad experience with Dean, so if it were me, I would just keep leaving messages until he gets time to call you back. Having said that, if you simply can't wait, I would try to find contact information for Gene Bichelmeier and ask him who he and his buddies would recommend. Not entirely sure which of their cars use WCFB and which use 4GC, but their stuff is always fast.
