63 carburetor

[Richard S.]

I am looking for the carter AFB carb colors for the 300 and 340 HP engines. Screws, base etc. Any information appreciated.

Re: 63 carbutor colors

Rich, My 63 (340 shp) has a natural aluminum housing, all the linkages are Zinc plated, the screws are Cad. plated the choke housing appears to have slightly different hue maybe a very light greenish hue?? Not 100 percent sure about the screws as I brought a new set, and there were cad. plated. the originals were to far gone and no plating left.

Nice job of explaining, Ed. You should be in the teaching profession, seriously.
