Maybe we should start calling them TRIBUTE carbs ?
Do you really want to get into this?
They are neither clone or tributes they are modified Edels. to fit the original air cleaners. i was asking if you had an original set of factory 67 "cheater" carbs as they were known that flowed 750 cfms in th smaller bodies back in the day. i assumed that you knew how to read the numbers on them to identify them but maybe not.

Are you having issues with your stock carburetors? Why not have them fixed or repaired?

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. These are based on Edelbrock carbs (the bases only) and the tops are old original carters that fit ALL years 426 Street Hemi air cleaners. These carbs use all of original parts (linkage, fuel lines, etc.) with zero modifications. Choke shown is electronic, I can add any style choke desired, and please ignore the incorrect fuel fittings, they were just on there for the test run.
*JohnRR, I can also build these clones from older Carter Competition Series carb bases (as opposed to Edelbrocks, which by the way I have had zero complaints about) but you would need to find and supply the bases, I don't have a ready supply of them.

$600.00 each.
Yes, as mentioned these use the exact same progressive linkage, fuel lines, etc. as factory carbs. These are not off the shelf Edelbrocks, about the only things that are "stock" Edelbrock are the bare base castings and some of the small common parts.
I've sold A LOT of these over the years with quite few of them being from return customers, they make a very nice economical setup for any street driven Hemi and even for some Race Hemi's, especially considering that original Hemi carbs in restored condition commonly trade hands for $2,500-$6,000.00.
