Jim Taylor used to drill a small hole in the tops of the dampers he
refurbished-at least he did on mine. Maybe that was to prevent the pin,
etc from blowing out on a cold start backfire.

Greg, I have seen dampers with the wires through the top, and I have seen
dampers where the top had been repaired with JB Weld after the wire went
through the top. My carbs will spit back occasionally if I try to move off
too quickly before the engine is warm enough, but fortunately, my complete
damper will blow out top and all -- always the front one. I think that's
better than blowing the wire through the top.
You can get a new damper from Joe Curto http://www.joecurto.com.
I just bought a replacement set of points and diaphragm for my SU fuel pump
from him.

Hi,
<small>
Anyone ever open their bonnet to see the dashpot damper wire sticking out
the top of the dashpot cover? I'm thinking it was due to backfiring back
thruogh the carbs.
Can I get a replacement damper?
The current one is green with some numbers on it.
