Best carb. rebuild kit...?
I want to rebuild my carb. on my 84' GSL and just wanted to know where I can get the better rebuild kit. I can go to local parts such as NAPA, Auto zone, etc. or order it from Mazdatrix (expensive), or Victoria British. Just wanted an opinion on what people have found to be a "good" kit with all proper gaskets, etc.

get one from Napa, I paid 32bucks for it. They are pretty much all the same I'm sure... What makes one brand better then another as long as they have everything they're supposed to..

I just finished rebuilding my carb today. I would not recommend the kit from Victoria British because that kit comes with paper crush washers and not the copper or metal ones. I just reused my old ones because of this problem. I am going to order my next one from Advance auto parts.

the napa kit is nice although ti doesn't supply you with new check ***** and few othing things.( can't remeber off the top of my head). I am partial to the mazda kits but depends on how much you want to spend. remember to go quality though even if it is more you will be more pleased in the long run. my 2 cents

Airflow is my life
Yup, Hygrade, Standard is the same kit. Its preferred. The Beck Arnely (vic british and NAPA I think) has the fiber seals. But you can usually reuse the metal seals you have. They are very durable.

Next rebuild is coming from Auto Zone. RX7carl I did reuse my old seals and they did come clean with the help of the carb cleaner. The rebuild was a success but I still need to to do some minor adjustments with the carb but my car runs better and there is no more surging idle.

i ordered a kit that came in today from parts america, pn 96-555. part number was right when i recieved it, but in the box was a rebuild for a 2 barrell mukini carb. i checked with them and the sku says its for a 4 br, so maybe it just got repacked... but anyways i ordered pn 96-962 (i think), this should be the right one. just wanted to let everyone know!
