Looks like the 2bbl wasn't around until the '77 model year. Why was it I thought you could get it in '76 on the Feather Duster?

Oh well. Guess I was wrong. I am going to se if I can't get a better copy of the video as the sound quit while I was watching it.

Featherd Duster was only offered with the Holley 1945 with some calibration in the settings to help with economy.

OK so the "tin top" BBD's were new for '76? Just not a slant version, right?

I have seen what I think are '74 air metered BBD's with the plastic bowl vent fitting.

Now we learn that there was a 2bbl option on the trucks before the cars. Not a super six carb.

'77 was the first year for the 2bbl on slant-6s in cars, trucks, and vans in the US/Canadian market. '67 for export/international markets.

Rug_Trucker, I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "not a super six carb", because "Super Six" was just the phrase on an air cleaner decal.

"not a super six carb" is his referance to the trucks and vans carburetors not specific to the super six carbs that he believes was an option before '77, the 2bbl truck/van carbs are not super 6 carbs. I'm just relaying. Also yes, super six was a sticker related to the 2bbl option on '78+ cars right?

The slant specific tin top has a smaller venturi, different sized orifices in the idle screw areas, and is thicker on the flat part on the front where the choke is.

I guess more velocity, less CFM?


Hmmmmm......I didn't check the '77 van carb I rebuilt. It is running on my buddy's '80 van right now.

Yes, the sound quits about 1/3 of the way in...

No 2bbl option pre-'77 in US/Canada.

My bad, one year off but rug_trucker is claiming this as before the a-body bodies ended in '76. Which is ludicrous.

Incorrect.
As I knew and relieved rug_truckers poor perception.
