AC Delco # 76057 GM # 17076057 Carburetor Kit
« on: August 29, 2023, 12:27:49 PM »
I have a new, unopened kit (plastic is still wrapped around the inner box) that I believe is for a 1971 Buick 455.  I know alot of Olds people and a few Pontiac folks.... but no Buicks that I can think of.
 Wondering what other applications it would work for, if any?  Thinking about selling it but shipping costs have gone way up.

TIA
Dave

There is a "for sale" section on the Forum, list it there. 

Unless it's at least 20  years old it will NOT contain good internals, specifically the accl pump, accl pump seal, and N/S assembly. 

NAPA/Echlin had the best kits until around 2003 when they started re-boxing Walker kits.  The NAPA blue plastic accl pumps were the best pumps ever made for these carburetors and the seal on them was a USA made part.  Their N/S assemblies where the correct non-windowed variety and had the .135" hole in them.

The only kits with a good accl pump and high flow N/S assembly available at this time are my kits.  My accl pump comes with a USA made seal (lifetime warranty) and a solid high-flow N/S assembly.  No one use has those parts in any of their kits, even though the dub their accl pump seals as "ethanol resistant", they are not......FWIW.....
