New to the the forum  i have  a 17058213  that i was going to   rebuild  for a friends dirt car  was wondering  if this body is good  or bad ?   I ordered Cliff book just can wait for it.    Thanks in advance all,the posts I have read are great.

Welcome to the group.
That's interesting, because I pulled a 17058213 apart today to build for a customer.  It is a single MAB carb and APT in base which is not my favorite design, but certainly very functional.
As far as best design, it all depends on engine set up and tuning desire.

Wicked45:
do you  you take out the apt in the base  what the  best way to adjust it?

 Welcome to CHP!

 Not my favorite design either. Also, I believe on that one, you have to drill out the plug to get to the APT screw. Another reason I do not like that design.

 What are you building it for?

Wicked45:
Sorry I have been  busy  we build it for 350  30 over    flat top   410 lift camshaft    with  487 cylinder  head  the reason I was plan on using this body  because  i 3 of them and  clean in good shape  as cores  plus  I don't  want to have to much carburetor
