Hi All, my brother gave me this carb yesterday. He thought I might be able to use it seeing as I'm getting into all this old stuff. He thinks it was off a ferd he had years ago, thinks he didn't run it very long. Dust from sitting in his barn for years. I haven't found much by google on it other than it seems it's a Carter AFB, 600 CFM I think. No choke, so prolly not a good year round carb in Wisconsin (which it won't be used for anyway).
I'm thinking of using it on a stock '76 motorhome 360 I have that has a 2bbl setup on it now.
Good carb? Junk?
Thanks!

The WEBER on the side gives it away. They bought Carter or the rights to that particular carb(AFB). Then Edelbrock aquired from there. I want to say that even the first "Eddy" carbs still had WEBER on them. It is an "aftermarket" like an Eddy. Someone just removed all the choke goodies. So, still easy to get parts for.

Hey RSie I have a fairly new Edelbrock 600 sitting in my shop that needs to go to a good home. If you need it it's yours you pay for shipping and I'll send it to you.
 
Partially correct. After Carter folded, Federal-Mougal picked up the rights. They had Weber make the Carb. Weber has since always made the carb. Edelbrock ought the rights from Federal-Mougal.

All Federal-Mougal carbs are stamped with a “9” as the first digit. The next digit is the size. “6” is the 600 CFM series carb.

IDK if the Edelbrock parts of the Fed/Mo carbs. They should! But I never (yet) tried.

Carb only has less than 2,000 miles on it and been setting for less than a year. So no rebuild needed Just trying to help a friend out because that is what we do.

From the looks of that, it needs a major cleaning, that thing is filthy.

Thanks Fred! I'll take it if you're sure. It'd be nice to have at least one 'known good' carb.
 
Sorry @dartfreak75 . I'll tell ya what, if for some unforeseen reason I can't use it, I'll give you first dibs.
 
No your fine buddy he offered it to you! I hope you can get good use out of it! I have a couple holleys and some thermoquads they all need rebuilt I'm gonna try to find a edlebrock or 2 also. That way I will have options and can swap carbs and kinda test different combinations.

Thanks for posting this! Good info.
 
Oh ok lol I never watched south park. You would be surprised how many people who dont like being called buddy. I dont got it. I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with it. I call everyone buddy it's just a habit I have done it for as long as I can remember. I have had several people mostly older men get very upset over it. I had this one guy when I was about 16 I thought I was gonna have to fight him I was working at foodlion and I was the cashier and I said think you buddy have a great day. He got all upset and and started screaming at me that he wasnt my buddy and pointing his finger in my face saying he was my elder and I should treat him with some respect. I was just baffled I couldnt figure out what i did I was just being friendly!! I apologized and he kept going so then I got mad. Pretty much told him to go eff himself and leave or we could take it outside. He turned to leave and I said See ya BUDDY! Haha I was a smart *** teenager. But i was just being friendly I have no idea why someone calling you buddy would upset or offend you?
 
Hey, @kursplat , I hereby nominate @Fred Scigliano for admittance to the a-hole club.
Seriously, you guys have to stop sending me stuff for free. Christmas is going to suck this year.. "new socks... yay". I've had Christmas all summer, lol.

Now I have another stop to make after that damn Nigerian lawyer sends me my 15 million dollars.

That clarifies it a little, lol. My wife often calls me a**hole, I call her a b**ch back. My brothers.. hey f**kface! would not be unusual. I call one of my sisters, when I see her, I call her the dreaded c**t word.. it's a joke between us... I'm the only one that can call her that and live, though. It's fun when she's around someone that doesn't know us.. their faces just get that huge 'O' look.. and she'll pretend to be offended, then start laughing.
It's all in the context. I'm not gonna call my HR director by the 'C' word. Well, maybe on my last day. :)
