Hello,
as I posted a couple of weeks ago, the head of one choke valve attaching screw broke off. Beside looking for a correct Carter AFB 3271 I tried to find these screws. Now I've obtained them (although steel and not brass, thus I'll use loctite instead of staking them out) together with a choke shaft.
I heard that in order to remove the choke shaft the top of the carb (bowl cover) has to be removed first. I've got the '63 Corvette Shop manual and the book 'super tuning and modifying Carter Carburetors'. In the shop manual the removing of the choke shaft is mentioned in the section Disassembly - Bowl Cover (p. 6M-9).
When I look at the pics of the design of the 3720 this seems not necessary, but I may be wrong. Any clarification would be helpful.
Regards
Oliver
