Dang they had to work hard to do that. I agree above, did they use it as a wheel chock? Hope the next one arrives in better condition.

Re: Got my $230 Amazon.com carb in today

Re: Got my $230 Amazon.com carb in today
WOW!!!
Is that all holley uses for packing material, a bag inside a box? If so, it's A wonder more don't end up that way. The last couple edelbrocks i've bought came completely encased in either styrofoam or molded plastic. you'd have to drive over the box with a bus to damage the carb.

Re: Got my $230 Amazon.com carb in today
Yeah it would be nice if I didn't have to send back the broke one but I do and the only thing I can see that is broke is the Choke everything else functions fine there was one piece of molded Styrofoam in the box that was on top of the carb but the only thing on the bottom was a chunk of 1 inch cardboard in the middle of the box that the carb sat on. I have a boddy that has lots of extra holley parts and replacing the choke wouldn't be an issue but they are one daying the new carb and they are paying for the return shipping also.
