The person that's asking me works for a dealership and I think they want a reman unit. I'll check and see if they want used parts..

I'm sure Sterling and Carl will set you up, but time frame might be hard to do if it's tight.

And if they don't have one, Jeff20B's could be sent to them to rebuild

See what you can get from the dealership in terms of moulah for the carb.

Would seem to me they would want a stocker for a stock application, seeing as they're the dealership and only do stock things!

The timeframe is as fast as possible and the application is a 77 RX3.. don't know much else.. I want to give carl and sterling the business if possible.. Sterling.. If you email me or pm me with some phone numbers and times for the lady to call you, maybe I'll just let you two work it out amongst yourselves.. Thanks for all the help guys..

I don't know if the 12A carbs changed at all from '76 to '77, but I know 13B carbs did.

It meters the correct amount of fuel to the engine for the amount of air its ingesting. It also controls the speed of the engine by limiting the air into the engine (throttle). That doesnt make you dumb. Not asking would though.

It looks more like that '76 carb of mine could possibly be a '75. It also probably came off of a right hand drive car because what's left of the chopped throttle cable appears to be on the wrong/other side.
