It can be replaced with a new restriction that Cliff sells. (same deal as an air bleed restriction).
I dont know if the larger size would not work on a stock motor. (im thinkin it would with some tuning).
Anyway, it can be fixed back to stock if needed.
Was this the factory carb that was used on the Trans-Am? I know alot of people are really starting to jump on the T-A restoration wagon.
