George, they all look linked like that with the bent tube. I double checked all of my originals that are not plated. The straight tube version is shorter and if you bent it, it would be very short. It has a very small hole in the end on the original ones I have.

I replied to this yesterday but I must have forgot to push the post button. So let’s try again. So I don’t have to post my photos because the OP has the pictures I need. There are several ways to tell but the most obvious is how they are put together. The original pull offs, when they are made...

I’ll shoot a picture and post it later.

Floyd, I hate to tell you but that choke pull off is one just like mine. It’s been rebuilt. You have an NOS box and that’s all. I can point it out to you on the rebuilt one but I’ll have to show you on the original what is the difference. I’ll have to take a picture of both sides. When I point...

Ok. Just looked at my stash. I’ve got a lot, too. My NOS 70 440 auto list 4376 and dated 3119 assembly line carb has a 12 stamped on it. My almost new 69 4391 dated 1989 carb was built after the initial run of cars and sold over the counter. It has a 94 on the choke pull off. That seems to be...

Oh, I’ve seen lots of numbers on the pull off. I’ll look at my NOS one and the originals I have at the shop.

I restore six packs so here’s the skinny on these. That’s a 50 year old NOS part you have there and I bet it cost a pretty penny. Look at a couple of things. First the bent downward vacuum port is only found on original carbs. Secondly, the plating on the original carbs is different than what we...

I’ll see if I can take a picture of the red one I just bought off of eBay and the old nos orange one for my Cuda that I’ve had for years to compare the colors.

I don’t think the real orange orange ones are available anymore for the 70 but the 69 red ones are. The last batch of orange ones mopar made are suspect on the correct color. I just bought a nos red one on eBay for $70 or so. Still in the mopar box. They are still out there. You don’t want to...

Well, like I said. I had my two motors long ago and sold one before I knew what they were. HC or CH, I’m a little fuzzy on and don’t have any pictures that I can find. I may still have a video of the block I sold to Joel, if I can find it. I know they both had MP stamped on them. Because I had...

I agree with Rick that the HC stamping means High Compression and should be for a 65 or a 68 SS car. When I had my 65 lightweight, I inspected a few blocks. One was here locally that I found long after I sold my car. We had a dragstrip here in the 60 called steamboat mountain and several SS and...

Well, I sold one of my MP 66 cast blocks before I knew what it was. I’m pretty sure that the short blocks were street hemi compression 10.5. I’ve heard that from several sources. But I’ve also heard the Vanke intake AND cheater cars were in the trunk. Somewhere in my “way back” memory, I...

There is a book written about these cars by Jim Schilds (I may have miss spelled the last name). I met him years ago when I had my 65 lightweight car. He wrote a book on those as well. I have not talked to him in years, so I’m not sure if he’s still alive. Mancini is out of stock so we have one...

Well, I HAD two of those blocks years ago. I did not realize what they were until I sold one of them however. If I remember correctly they were both cast on 10-31-66 which I have been told was the most common casting date in 66 blocks. I had three hemi blocks cast on that date at one time. I...

Thanks for the information. I took it apart yesterday. You have to take the prongs out of the plastic to get it out of the column anyway. It looks the same as the one on the 69 Charger but I have not tried it. I just made a big order to classic. I wished I knew about the plug. Crud. The wires...
