    carter carb made into lamp

     



    Thought you might like to see the lamp I made from a carter carb. Everything works and you use the throttle linkeage to turn it on.

    Very cool and inventive. If you would use a tunnel ram you would have more light though.

    Great idea.

    That is one really ugly lamp. Now had you used a Rochester 2G it might have been more attactive.

    Regardless, it would probably sell for thousands on Ebay, even more if you could see a likeness of Jesus on the bowl.

    I was going to use a rochester carb, but I have about 15 carters so I used that. Got to agree not as good looking as the rochesters
