Looking at a 7026250
Mudsport96:
Anybody happen to know what purpose this serves? havent seen it on newer carbs, so i am thinking it was not really needed...

Well, apparently the photobucket is down so my pictures are not visible... Anyway, what I am seeing under the passenger side secondary flap, is tab or deflector at close to a 30 degree angle about half an inch below the fuel discharge tube. Antone come across this before?

I saw your photos last night and just didn't have time to reply. Most carbs of that year (Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, etc.) had that "tang" on there. Not sure of purpose. Maybe to deflect extra velocity air into the certain part of the engine? Maybe a baffle?
Mudsport96:
Awesome, thanks for the answer. I tried looking on the page with all the part numbers you posted, but didn't see it. Was just curious why it was dropped as an idea.
