THANK YOU WideTrack. Assuming everything you posted is correct, this REALLY helps me gain confidence. There are so many different terms floating about a solid definition with pictures is a great help.
WideTrack:
Buyer beware, Miner! Pretty sure it's correct though! It's from a late 70's Buick carb.

Yeah, I'm a cautious and skeptical fellow, but it does help that your determinations are in line with the ones I made independently from Cliff's book. I'm more of a late 70's & early 80's truck carb sort of dude. Nice to see they didn't deviate drastically with Buick.
But of course somebody else will need to come along with their own photos and identifiers to help the earlier guys with different styles.
WideTrack:
Yeah, I have enough trouble just trying to figure out one make and style. My car originally had a Carter on it. I have new respect for carburetor engineers. They built one heck of a Rube Goldberg device!

These are emulsion tubes (air bleeds) for the secondaries, they're critical for fuel atomization when those beer can secondaries open. Pg. 106 of the Bible recommends .036". I always check just to make sure.
