Not sure what make this carb is, it has an auto choke and I would like to restore back to manual choke and and add a hand throttle control. Can anyone identify the carb from my pictures, and how to revert back to manual choke, etc? Link to the pics is http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?username=psy999&x=18&y=4 Thanks | | |

You might as well get another carb. They are a dime a dozen at the swap meets. The 54 up 235 will fit. The earlier ones had a narrower mounting bolt pattern. The latter ones had a different air cleaner mounting. Carbking has a bunch of them on the swap meet section or you could post in the parts wanted.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
