Guilty !!!
I wrote about the AFB replacing a two barrel carb many moons ago because I
misinterpreted something that I read. I encountered the original source not
so very long ago and would be tempted to make the same mistake again, except
now I know better.
Phillipe, can you be more specific about the location of the error? I will
get it fixed via Steve Bryan as soon as possible.
The all new CARTER AFB was introduced in the calendar year of 1958 and it
was fitted to many 1957's once they ran out of the venerable WCFBs. Getting
parts for the 1958 AFB is a major nightmare. I saw one going on e-bay a
little while back and saw it was very popular. I am lucky in that I managed
to acquire a spare one although I have never even taken it out of its box.
