Cliff Ruggles:
Those are excellent carburetors, and we use a lot of them to replace earlier Chevy divorced choke carburetors.  The SMAB design is more efficient than the large MAB design used on the 1970 thru 1976 divorced choke units.....Cliff

Thanks Cliff that carb is really warped in the ft from hold down bolts too tight. I seen somewhere that you can put it on a flat surface and tap it down flat with a hammer i,m thinking it should be heated first. Any advice? thanks.....Dan

Cliff Ruggles:
Never heard of that type of repair and wouldn't advise it.

In most cases the front of the airhorn can be sanded flat and it will re-conform to the main casting.

We do have one of those unwarping fixtures, but seldom use it.....Cliff

dlong70elcamino:
Cliff it also has a crack where the secondary air valve shaft goes through I just noticed it today looking at it.It,s in the middle on the outside of the carb.I,ll bring it with me when i come down to your shop. I got two of the SMAB carbs gonna build the best of the two......Dan
