Vette(s): 1973 Orange Metallic Coupe (orig owner), L82, 4 spd (WR), PS, (A/C & PW (I installed from wrecked 73)), leather, AM/FM Stereo, ran with '65 FI unit earlier & will again some day. 2023 Accelerate Yellow HTC Stingray
OEM baseplates didn't come w/ bushings which is why they eventually started leaking.

I currently have my Q-Jet at... Quadrajetpower ... for a restore, and they include the base plate bushing with the restore/overhaul (I am getting mine recolored also). You might want to try him for a baseplate as he sells them separately, or just send your carb to him.
