Want to replace Marvel Schebler TSX580 on 1955 Ford 640 (and yes, I've tried rebuilding it...twice).
Steiner, which I believe to be completely reputable, sells a new version (FDS1183) for $229.50. On ebay, I found a source, x-motors, which sells what [i:eb10372739]appears[/i:eb10372739] to be the same carburetor for $85.75. Distances between mounting studs and other dimensions are the same as the Steiner version.
Question: I don't mind spending the extra money if the Steiner carb is markedly better, however, I don't want to spend nearly 3 times as much if the two are identical. Has anyone had experience with the x-motors version?
Appreciate your feedback
