Round Carb Tag Transfer

(1/1)

gokitty:
My 67 7027262 carb body crumbled. Located a good 67 7027262 body. Carb now rebuilt using the original top and bottom together with the replacement body. The crumbled body has a good,round 70262 tag that I would like to safely transfer to the "new"carb and securely fasten it to the host carb body. Any suggestions as to the best way to do this? Thanks!

Cliff Ruggles:
They can be very difficult to remove w/o damaging them.  Not sure if there is a good way or not as they are staked in several places to retain them.

I've managed to remove a few without tools by blowing compressed air into the little hole in the center, just make sure it doesn't fall down behind the work bench.  We lost one a few years ago using that method and never did find it......Cliff

Thank you,Cliff. The tag is going on a body which had an inlet repair you did for our friend Mike in Texas in November/December '17.

Oops!Happy fingers on the keyboard. "Mike" should read as "Mark".

Mr.Pontiac:
My 2 cents worth if i may, take a very pointed scribe and pull enter up ever so slowly, then lay a rag over it then pump the air to it.
