    Mr. Pittman,

    Thanks, I have plans to build small block Ford and really want to get my hands on one. We had aquired the one through what I believe at the time was dubious means and had no manual with it. Could not get it to idlem but man would it scream once you got rolling. we had an older mentor and Dyno Don was his idol. He really wanted to get the Kendig working but we could never get there.

    Thanks,
    Guy Chachere

    Well I hope the manual helps you out! The carburetor isn't mine to sell, but I will keep my eyes open for another one. One of these days I still intend to try it out.

    Strange that I just read this thread last week and today my friend brings this box into my office. It's a Kendigs box and inside is the carb, manual, gasket and sticker that came new with it. I guess he has had it sitting in his garage for years and just saw it this weekend and borught it in to show and tell. lol.

    flyguyrose I gave my friend your email incase you two can work out a deal on it.

    hi i was wondering if you could send me that manual too my email is deutzman@gmail.com i have three of these kendig carbs none are complete and all are slightly modified so a manual would be a nice place to start lol the one carbs got the side milled out and lexan put in its place so its see through and the others the gears were taken out and linkages like predators have were made and put in any ideas why someone would get rid of the gears thanks
