Do you know where a pair of matching WCFB's are? That's the only thing that will fit this manifold.

Haven't seen these carbs since I raced a Studebaker in the early 60's. There are some on ebay right not, don't know if that's ordinary or not. Item numbers 330410135018, 200446887421, 230446005388, 330411379388, 280474853852, 250590170012, 310204335307. These are the cheap ones. They may be worthless as far as I know, but just trying to contribute to Scooter's thread.

Since WCFB carbs were mentioned. I have a couple of Original Carter "Strip Kits" unopened and think they are for these carbs. Part number on kits is 10-101.
they have 12 little numbered bottles but cant see whats in them, thinking jets. 2 bottles with 2 in each needle and seats, and 4 bottles with 2 metering rods in each of them. Not sure if any one could use them, but if some one wants or needs them make me an offer. No no no thats too low....hahha

You may be right. When I bought them I thought they were for AFB's but for some reason I started thinking they were for the others. I bought them at the same time I got two original 409 AFB's hoping these kits would work on them, but don't think they will now.
Thanks for your input.
