1980 Turbo Trans AM carburetor question HELP!
I have an 80 Turbo TA I'm trying to get started, so the first thing I thought to do is rebuild the carb. I found a rebuilt carb locally for $100 and bought it, thinking it would work... it won't. It's a non-turbo 17080272 and my carb is a correct 17080274.
In the process of rebuilding my carb I used parts off the rebuilt carb. When I took the 17080272 carb apart, there was a plastic insert that wasn't on my carb when I took it apart. In poking around the web, I think this is called a "fuel bowl" but I'm not sure; it's #234 in the first drawing. Note that my carb rebuild kit doesn't show this as part of the 17080274 carb exploded view. My question is this, should the 301 Turbo carburetor have this black insert installed? (see pic #2). Thanks See part #234 With the plastic insert as it came on the 17080272 How my carb looked when I took it apart |

I found the answer to my question. There's more than one thread in the 301 garage site with excellent info. My objective is to get the car running. If it runs, I'll probably take the carb off and ship it to a pro to rebuild it so it runs well. For now, just hoping it starts. I bought the car off eBay and was going to just swap the engine, but was overtaken by guilt so I had to give it a shot... fingers crossed. Note I still don't know what that black plastic part is called or how to get a new one (stole it from the other carb). If anyone knows I'd appreciate it.

Thanks. I found this after I found out what it was called. I guess you don't need these installed for it to run .
