66 232 carb options

If by chance you do just want to rebuild it yourself, any machine shop should be able to bush the throttle shaft. The WCD two barrel has a cast iron base. They just take the screws out of the butterflies and remove them, then slide the shaft out, drill the holes larger, and insert bronze bushings in the larger holes with new holes sized to the shaft. Just take them the base. Don't know what the charge would be, but shouldn't be too much.

Autoline in Canada rebuilds carburetors. They do a very nice job. Rebushed throttle shafts, replated components, and all.

I really do have the best luck on my engines from restoring the original carburetors. Not just rebuilding, restoring.

I had this issue with an old BBD I got to put on a slant-six.  I rebuilt it, but the shaft was sloppy.  Found a bush kit for it, complete with the reamer.  rebushed it, and that thing worked perfectly after that.

What i learned from this is that on old carbs that are "worn out," it seems to be the shaft bushing that makes it sloppy.  fix that, and you're good to go.

I'm sure there are parts made for your ("our," because I have the same one on my '66 Ambo) carb.  If not, all you need is measurements to get your parts and tool.
