Yes.

IF THEY WILL FIT:

Transfer the primary venturii clusters, the primary jets, the secondary jets, the step-up springs, the step-up rods, and especially the auxiliary air valve from a genuine Pontiac 326 HO carb; and it will run fairly well until it starts leaking from porosity.

Thanks Jon. I have a 4034 ‘66 carb that I could build
Is a 750 AVS a better choice?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
