Does anyone know what the stock carburetor would have been on a 66 Daytona 283v8? My carburetor looks newer, which makes me think it has been changed. Thanks for the help!! ( it looks like a two barrel, but not sure of the make)

Thank you. I just looked at it closer and it has a gm stamp on it. It says remanufactured on it. " 2-jet" also stamped on it, do you know if that would be a rochester? Thanks-EricComment

The 66 engine I have in pieces had a Carter 2bb on it.

That may not be an absolute. GM contracted with Carter to make some Rochester carburetors under license. GM did that as a wedge against parts interruptions by strikes. While I have no idea if any Studes possibly received any like this, there's lots of Corvettes and some other GM cars running around with Carter built Quadrajets.Originally posted by StudeRich View PostPoet...Mystic...Soldier of Fortune.
