Fyi..
I was looking on eBay for AFB carb parts and found the sbove listing. Here is what I sent to the lister.
Re your listing..... sent a message about mopar carter afb 1966 Hemi carb. 4137S J5 manual California #253000659083
Your listing is not for a Hemi car, but for a 1966 440 cubic inch engine. All Hemi primary carbs (rear position on engine) had hot air chokes, only in 1971 engines (last year of ptoduction) used a MANUAL cable operated choke. The secondary carb (front carb on engine) did not have a choke at all. You may have taken it off your Hemi but Mopar did not origionally install it on a Hemi engine. In addition, the other give away is the mounting base drilling. Origional Hemi cars did not use dual base drilling patterns. Another give away is the choke vacuum pulloff diaphragm assembly. Hemi engines did not use a vacuum pulloff diaphragm assembly.
The first pix shows the bottom view of an AVS carb and the idle mixture screws in the mounting flange not like an AFB carb, where they go in at an angle. Perhaps you may want to correct your listing or adjust your price to reflect the change. Just thought you might like to know.
If you went to the listing, this person was selling the carb for $1450.00. What a deal..... I wonder how many people bid on the listing. eBay strikes sgain....or definitely CAVIET EMPTOR.
