In 2014, I purchased another 71 Barracuda (318 with AC). I bought it from the original owner with 116,540 miles on the odometer. The SPD was 625. In his garage I found a big box of junk that included the original carburetor. Also in that box was the red-black control valve that I believed to be the original.
I just pulled that old bakelite valve out to take another look and take a few pictures of it. The red bottom half is not bakelite, but cast aluminum or pot metal. I looked at some of the new ones listed on Ebay and they look to be all bakelite or plastic. Can someone confirm?
