I have two old AFB four barrel carbs with no tags and have been unable identify them. Maybe someone can help. Here's what info I got off the carbs: Carb #1 # 11 stamped on left front edge of carb base, # 6-1779 on top of carb next to air horn, throttle bores 1 7/16" primary, 1 11/16" secondary. Carb #2 No number on carb base, S-S stamped on front right corner of carb top, # 6-1779 on top of carb next to air horn, Throttle bore 1 7/16" primary, 1 11/16" secondary. Thanks in advance, Art
carbking did do a thread on AFB's, but I can't find it now. Maybe do a search of his postings off his profile page? I know there are "some" he recommends we stay away from. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
Get together the following, along with one or both of the carbs, and then call me at 573-392-7378 (9-4 Mon-Tues central time): (1) straight-bladed screwdriver (may have to remove air horn) (2) pencil eraser (3) strong light (4) strong magnifying glass (5) most important, a pair of "young eyes" Until then, guessing late model Pontiac. Pontiac used AFB's 1957~1967. Jon.
Thanks Jon. Will call this week. Will have to do with old eyes but still have 20/20 with the glasses! Thanks, Art
