Re: [Amc-list] carter AFB

I bought it at the local Car Quest auto parts store. The kit was made in the
USA by Standard Motor Products Inc. It is Car Quest part number EC 430 and
was the last one the warehouse in the metro MN area had. Parts guy said they
(warehouse in metro) sold two of them last year. Curious thing was it wasn't
listed in his computer data base so he went to the books and found the
number. When he entered that number in the computer it came up with the
information. There are a few drawings of the linkage but they aren't very
good so it's a bit difficult to understand. I haven't rebuilt a four barrel
carb for a long time either and need all the help I can get. Which reminds
me, thanks again Ralph for the photos.
I think like everything else to do with older cars, carburetor kits are
getting harder to find too. I find this kind of curious because Edelbrock
still makes new AFB style carbs and Holley makes lots of carbs too
apparently, but rebuild kits for old carbs must not sell very many so
they're more difficult to find. Or so I'm finding out, NAPA said they don't
have one for the AFB.
