Another Street Hemi Carb

WIW.

Nice shape, only missing the idle mixture screws but I think I have a set that would go with carb.

It is out of the production window, over counter date code for a 67 hemi. Missing the choke which is an expensive part to replace as original. Even repo is expensive. So from my perspective a parts carb if someone needs good parts to repair a production line carb. But others may want it as is. 66-67 and even 68 are in less demand than the later carbs.

I may have a choke for it. This carb was on my 71 Hemi GTX when I bought it, hence no need for the choke mechanism.

71 used a manual choke device for cable operation.

Is the choke special to the Hemi carb or could one from another make/model AFB be utilized ?

I am aware of that, and that’s what I said. This carb was on my 71 and it has the functioning original manual choke assembly. I may have the original choke for the earlier carb.

Yes they are unique to Hemi. 66-67, 68-69, 70, 71 Manual. Each is a unique housing, several different internal pistons, and the thermostatic housing, 2 different versions. To be anatomically correct:-)

Almost all the ones on Ebay called hemi are not correct, and the other play on words is hiding reproduction part use.

You say the metering rod pistons differ too from year to year?

No the piston in the choke housing. 5 different versions.

Got it.
