Quick Carb question for an 82!

my only winter project was to rebuild my carb off of my seven. I've got massive plans for the car that will be happening next summer. but just to keep semi occupied while i cant drive my baby i wanted to rebuild, and clean up, my carb.

Found a rebuild kit, but it says its for a nikki carb. I've got the stock carb, is that a nikki? I really have no idea...

I think you should start by reading the FSM from front to back.

Yes, you have a nikki if its the stock carb on an 82 FB!

It's better to ask and be right than to not ask and mess up something. Measure twice cut once applies to everything.
