Here are a couple of pics of the 17058266 carb for my Y88. Took it apart and boiled it out then put it together. After it was together, I decided to color the carb and plate everything so it looked good again. Back apart it came and I sent all the pieces out. Have now got it back together again for the most part. Need a new front vacuum break to complete the look. Carb looks great, it should work as well as it looks!

Excellent. Congrats - sharp looking results...But be careful! You could be accused of forum violation by posting "Pontiac Porn!"

The color of the carb body in my pictures is off. It does not look gray like that in reality. The pics really don't even do it justice. Looks too good to put on a car, may have to put it in a display case!
