Title: 17085246, 800 cfm Help me with better carb. airhorn
Post by: Mr.Pontiac on November 01, 2018, 01:31:38 PM

I believe this was a electronic style top on it. Is there a better airhorn that will work on this 800 CFM carb.???

If it has the solenoid in the aneroid location but not a fully computer controlled unit that system can be blocked off and any non-CCC later style top used instead......Cliff

Forgive me, don,t understand aneriod location??? Want to set the carb. up for my drag car. So does it have to be another Buick model?? How do i remove and block it off if i find another carb.??

Left front corner as viewed from the front.  If it has a solenoid there with two wires in can be blocked off/removed and tuned without those parts present.

If you don't like the big hole there another top can be substituted as long is it is single MAB and the same number of screws holding it down......Cliff
