Almost certainly needs a rebuild, but I'll take it over a parts store rebuilt unit any day and rebuild it myself (if I were still running carbs). Even if you have no carb rebuilding experience whatsoever, it would be difficult to do as poor a job as the companies that supply parts stores with their rebuilt carbs. |

From little experience I have it looks all right, looks in the same condition the original carb on my car had which had easily been around the clock 2 - 3 times. Find a good rebuild kit from a decent supplier and go ahead. I'm sure SSD will chime in with a full response! |

Probably a relatively good candiate for a rebuild, but still a bit of a gamble; could be corroded inside beyond effective cleanup. Also, it's from a pre-1967 170 engine and so is a really small carb (smallest venturi, small throttle bore). It is equipped for PCV, so the car was a California or New York unit or was ordered with PCV which was not standard equipment in all the states until '63. |

I thought '65 was the PCV year on Mopars? |

California cars got PCV instead of road draft tube starting in '61. New York starting in '62. Nationwide + export for '63. The breather inlet was originally vented to atmosphere. Starting in '64 (California) and '68 (nationwide + export), the breather inlet was ducted to the carburetor air cleaner. This holds for all makes -- not just Mopars. |

If that is true the BBS on the '72 slant I just bought is really old! Ok I remember where I got '65 from. 65 was the year the SB BBD's got a wire and stud to mount the air cleaner. |

'66, except on Barracudas which got it in '65.
