Shouldn't be a problem there......You might complain and get a partial refund though......

 

[eyesore]

That should be covered up by a gasket, right? But if it bothers you, send it back!

Any time I have had an issue with Speedway they have been more than accomodating. You should have no problem if you want a new one. They even sent my Son a brand new Wilwood brake setup without him asking for it because the old one squealed and dusted real bad. That is why we do so much business with them.

I have only ordered from Speedway once, and there was a mis communication on shipping, I figured it was my fault for not dealing with it and calling my order in as opposed to ordering online. They refunded me the extra shipping fees imediatly, as I had indicated my shipping preference on my order form. Long story short, I wanted it shipped USPS not UPS, as UPS rapes your with brokerage/duty to bring something accross the border, to the tune of 30% at times. I would deal with them again for sure, as they were so quick to come to the table and admit fault, which I wasn't expecting at all.

With the carb on it you'll never see it and its to far out to cause any leaks.

I've never had a problem dealing with Speedy Bill !!!!!!!![cl
I'd have no issues asking for a replacement.
At the very least so it would ease your mind, you asked
I have a rule in my shop and family:
If I or anyone has to ask if it will be alright, it won't
An educated guess is that it will not hurt it. OK if I were educated

They replaced it..no queations asked

That's good, and exactly what I expected them to do, based on how well Speedway has always treated us when these things occur, and errors and problems happen to every company.

Just yesterday my Son got a box from Year One with a new dipstick tube and dipstick for his Olds engine. He wanted an original Olds unit instead of the chrome one that was leaky. When he opened the box there was the correct tube in there, but the dipstick said "Check transmission fluid in park" on the side of it ! They sent a transmission dipstick instead of an engine dipstick. So Monday we will have to call them and see how they are going to handle the return. You always find this stuff after 5 PM on Friday when the company is closed.

They aren't bothered, as the cost of replacing and shipping it just gets passed on to other sales. And the overall price of everything goes up a touch.

To my mind, I'd just dress that nick out with a small file, as much as was practical, and move on. It isn't going to cause a problem, you won't get a leak, and chances are you'll have other dinks and dents in it just as bad within a short space of time.

This is a rat rod forum afterall, not the HAMB. [cl
