Tecnically, if you run the original carb you're not legal because it's too small.
The carb you're looking for came on Mercury Marine engines, U-Haul trucks and some medium duty military trucks. The 1.375 carb never came on a car.
Billy, the carbs you speak of did they come on any production cars? I mean did they come on 400 chevy's?, or anything else? Also the intake even the 69 model the one you want says "made in canada" on it? Is this correct? Thank you for the help.
