Restamped carb 68/390hp

[Terry F.]

Check it out. I think this is a restamp. Besides, the choke linkage is all wrong. What you think, Terry

Stamp does look funny.

Here is a real one. Sorry for the big pic, but if you want detail ...

Re: Restamped carb 68/390hp - linkage

I don't see what you are seeing on the linkage. Pieces missing, but looks about right.

Again, this one is real.

Oops - choke linkage

part of the linkage is missing on this one, so I can't compare, but most looks the same. The rod from the air flap on the secondaries to the pull off pot looks odd though.

Re: Oops - choke linkage

Great pictures! Would you please post one showing the choke side?

Re: Restamped carb 68/390hp

That looks better. I felt the last two numbers looked goofy and possibly the letters also. Who knows. My original one doesn't look like it either. Character on mine are evenly stamped. Terry

Apparently, we weren't the only ones to think that.

It didn't sell, either, at least not for the $1150 he wanted.

He has relisted it with a $900 buy it now. Some suckers felt a restamped carb was worth $600 last time, I wonder if they feel the same this time.
