If the car is original, the carb should be a Carter AFB......which is much preferred over the aftermarket replacements i.e. Edelbrock etc clones.....according to most people.

Thanks,

yes it is a Carter AFB, I have fogotten to write this.
But I would like to know which exact type it is to buy the right spare parts.

The only number that would fit would be 6-1694 , but I can not really find right fitting spare parts?

So see attached pictures, maybe they will help.

Thanks
Stefan

From http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Carburetor_ID.htm. The owner of that shop is a member here (carbking).

"AFB Series – (4 barrel) (1957 – 2001) metal tag: also some units stamped on edge of flange, some units stamped center of bowl in rear, some units stamped along bowl – airhorn seam in front, some units NOT stamped (tag only)"

Depending on the year of your can, and if it's the original carb, you can use this LIST from the same webiste to get an idea of what carb your car has.

For example, for a 1965 car with a 389, auto trans, and a 4bbl, if you look about half-way down the page, you'll see it came with a Carter AFB #3896. The rebuild kit from that site would be the last column (#548)

Tons of kits for these on E-Bay. Very easy to do. Pretty much all Carter 4bbls from '63-66+ take the same kit. Do a search for your year pontiac and carb kit, and you should find what you need. If I remember right, there are not many or any helpful #s on the carb if it has no tag on it.
