    Yes. The carb covers the holes as well as the stainless heat shield. I'll try to mock them up tomorrow and take a couple of pictures to post.

    I don't really need another set, I have two OE sets and one set of Moon "no-name" covers. Are they the '64/'65 or '66 style? We each pay actual S&H on what we're receiving? If you think you can repair the one with the broken ear, I'll sell it cheap.
     
  3. Thanks but i'm not interested in dealing with any cast iron welding and machining. that intake would be too expensive if it were free.

    I've still got a good one that I can fit with either an OE carb or a service replacement unit.

    That's crazy. I've bought 2 NOS service replacement carbs for $265 each. Seller was Johnsons Speed Warehouse or J*S*W.
    Manifolds bring maybe $150.

    Think I still have a manifold with carb stashed in the garage--show me $510 and see if it meets my reserve!

    No, they're needed for my cars.
    You could try calling Johnsons Speed Shop to see if they have any more. The phone number is in their eBay listings. Search seller J*S*W or J*S*S.

    On that tip, I tried Johnsons too, they dont have any 66 240's left. Nice folks though.

    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    There's a few bits and pieces missing off that one, the internal choke linkage is gone (as well as the flap) and the rod from the diaphram to the secondaries is gone. Looks like a good builder if the needle and seat set up can still be modified and if that diaphram still works.

    If you're looking for a nice 66 only carb, make sure that diaphram is in good shape before buying it; They are cast in the body of the carb, - as far as I know (I'm sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong) there are no replacements for those, and no parts available for them. The 67 carb is the same size and "footprint" on the manifold, but the linkage is different and they went to a divorced diaphram which is still serviced.

    By diaphram do you mean the vacuum pull off??? Not to sure if there available for the 66 unit.... i know the 67 and up still are.. Cliff Ruggels or Greg Gessler would be able to tell you if the older parts are still available or repairable.... The other real problem area is the obsolete plunger style needle/seat... Upgraded to the newer screw in style in the later '67 units... Good core for someone wanting a numbers matching trailer queen tho....

    Ed, ever get the chance to mock up the newer carb your using??? I eventually would like to go that route.... A Blueprinted late 76 to 80 - 800 cfm just sounds nice......

    Might try Carmen Faso for a '66 q-jet. I gave him one as a core a while back.

    Here are the pictures of the carb and manifold I promised. Sorry it took so long (I just forgot.) Carb # is 17047254. As you can see, the heat shield covers the exhaust passage and the linkage is all above the bolt surface. The linkage pulls upward so nothing ever comes down toward the manifold. Still working on how to put the TV cable stud on it for use with a TH200-4R.

    You're asking me to remember something that I bought 2 - 3 years ago when I can't remember what I had for breakfast???? :confused:

    I think I got it from Paul Bowsher. If I did, then Russ Martin in Grass Valley, CA would be selling them for Paul if there are any left.
