Partol 1 Barrel Carburetor Carb for Chevrolet GMC L6 Carburetor for Chevy 292 L6 Engines - 4.1L 250 & 4.8L 292 2007-2016 (Automatic Choke)

A few years later and this carb is still running strong and dependable nice craftsmanship ship at a fraction of the price

I purchased this for a 1987 22R pickup. It came well packaged and felt very solid and of quality materials. It came with gaskets and was a direct fit for the old one. In a couple of reviews I noticed people stating that the wire harness was incorrect. That is the first thing I checked and the verdict is, yes, the harness was wired 180 degrees backward from my original. Not very hard to push the pins out of the connector and re-route them before the install. The engine fired up instantly and though it has a slight increase in the original idle speed, it's not a deal breaker. it accelerates very smoothly, starts fast, and after many drives is functioning fantastic. Because I do not know the build materials, I have decided to use non-ethanol gas to avoid premature corrosion of possible lower grade metals in the choke parts. For my personal needs, this carb did the job perfectly and affordably.

purchased for a 69 Mustang, 200 ci motor. The item looks "bigger" than the original carter YF. It appears someone used a casting from the original Carter. The vent tube had a bigger diameter than the original. The carb fit onto the manifold with the supplied gasket(s) and fit perfectly. The stock air cleaner fit correctly. The carb does not a provision for an electric choke, so I removed the one on my original and it fit!!! The only issue was that throttle cable attachment point was in a different location. This carb had a mounting point even with the throttle shaft and my carter had the mounting location about two inches below the throttle shaft. So, I had to make a "custom" linkage, which was easy in my case. There have been no problems with the carb

The media could not be loaded. So....Like many of you, I was a little on the skeptical side when ordering this carburetor. I know very little about carburetors, and rebuilding them. After tinkering with the factory carb for seemingly endless amount of time, I found this ad. Thinking eh, it probably wont be any good but its amazon ill just return it if it doesnt work out. Not expecting much i bolted it on, was priming fuel up to the carb not even trying to start it yet. And It fired up! idled and ran perfectly! I didnt have to change a single adjustment or mess with anything! Im running a 1978 Ford F-150 with the 300 inline 6 and a manual trans, so no kick down for me to deal with on an automatic so cant speak to how well it will work with an automatic. But i am absolutely blown away! actually got to drive the truck for the first time. Just buy it!!!

I should not have to take apart a brand new carb to fix poor quality assembly!!Main jet needle was just laying in the float bowl ( see pic)Float needle did not have the tiny spring to hold it to float.(see pic)Float seat was never machined properly ( see pic , no ports to let fuel in to bowl!!!!)

Good fits

This is not a Carter carburetor, which isn't a bad thing.I'll start with the good - after installing this my truck runs far better than it has in a long time. I experience no pinging or hesitation, and it revs smoothly through the RPM range. The choke also opens properly.Now for the bad - the front of this carb is different from the Carter in such a way that you cannot properly set up the EGR dump valve. If your truck has an EGR, you're going to have to get creative if you use this carb.Also, a number of the screw holes for connecting things to the carb were not threaded (like the choke heat tube). Aluminum is soft and I have taps so this is merely annoying.Last of all, the screw that holds the air cleaner box in place is smaller on this carb than the factory one. This is another area where you're going to have to be clever.At the end of the day you're getting a lot of carb for your money, just remember that this isn't quite a direct swap.

- Carburetor Was A Direct Bolt- Carb is A Manual Choke- Carb Comes With All Gaskets Involved Including EGR Valve Gasket- Full Adjustment Is Available If You Desire (Idle Mixture, Idle Speed)- Bolt On And Go
