Tune Your Idle: NOS Carburetor Controls & Mixture Parts
A vintage engine is only as good as its air/fuel mixture. If your classic is hard to start on cold mornings, stalls at stoplights, or idles roughly, the small control devices on your carburetor are likely to blame.
The Precision of NOS Carburetors require precise vacuum signals and thermal reactions. Modern "generic" replacements often lack the correct calibration. At Old Car Parts NW, we stock authentic NOS (New Old Stock) and NORS components for Holley, Rochester, Carter, and Autolite systems.
-
Choke Thermostats: The bi-metallic coils that automatically close the choke for cold starts.
-
Vacuum Pull-Offs (Choke Breaks): Essential for preventing flooding by slightly opening the choke once the engine fires.
-
Dashpots & Solenoids: Stop the engine from stalling when you suddenly lift off the gas pedal.
Pure Flow: NOS Fuel Pumps & Glass Bowl Filters
Fuel delivery is the lifeline of your engine. Whether you are battling a clogged system from a rusty tank or a weak pump causing "vapor lock," we have the cure.
Authentic Mechanical Reliability We specialize in NOS (New Old Stock) and NORS fuel delivery parts that maintain the vintage look and reliability of your engine bay.
-
Mechanical Pumps: Heavy-duty castings from AC, Carter, and Airtex that feature correct clocking and pressure for carburetors (no regulator needed!).
-
Glass Bowl Filters: The classic "Sediment Bowl" filters that allow you to see the fuel condition and trap rust particles before they hit the carb.
-
Ceramic & Stone Elements: Rare NOS replacement elements for vintage filtration systems.
Seal the System: NOS Sending Units, Caps & Lines
The rear half of your fuel system is often out of sight, out of mind—until you smell gas or run out of fuel because the gauge reads "1/4 Tank."
Safety & Accuracy
-
NOS Sending Units: Finding a working gas gauge sender is the #1 problem for restorers. We stock rare NOS Sending Units that provide accurate Ohm readings for factory gauges, unlike many cheap reproduction units.
-
Gas Caps: Authentic Vented and Non-Vented caps (Stant/Wayne) to prevent vacuum lock and finish the look of your quarter panel.
-
Lines & Hoses: Pre-bent hard lines and filler neck hoses to stop dangerous leaks.
