The 3-BBL diaphragm has been out of service for many years. It will require a slight change in the stem length (after you grind off the factory peaned end and the stem modified to be re-peaned on the 6 bbl diaphragm), using a lathe).

Yep, that's why I mentioned this little tip. I see these carbs at swap meets occasionally, usually fairly reasonable because the owner thinks it isn't serviceable. Cool carburators, thanks for posting that.
