A quick, hopefully easy question
« on: April 15, 2020, 08:50:58 AM »
I asked Cliff about a carb I have that I want to use for my 292.  I sent the pictures, and provided current jet and primary rod sizes, and he said it's a large MAB unit.  Does MAB = Main Air Bleed?  I didn't want to bug him with this question as he is busy enough already.

Thanks

Yes,  MAB refers to Main Air Bleed...some carbs are single MAB, others are dual MAB.

Cool, thanks.  So would a large MAB carb be a single?  And a dual MAB have smaller air bleeds?

1970 and later Chevy passenger car Qjets uses the large .120" upper in airhorn and lower in bowl MAB`s.
1969 and older Chevy Qjets uses the smaller .050" upper and lower MAB
