I disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my carb tonight for the first time (with a LOT of help from Don's manual and the forum here). I thought my A4 was a late model - based upon the oil fill, thermostat, distributor, and carb.
However, I saw tonight that while the carb looks a lot like the late model pictures (more than the early model), it only has four bolts. Also, it has a plug that looks like it is for draining the fuel from the float chamber. The pics in Don's manual seem to show a plug like this in the early carb, but not in the late model (though it is not exactly clear in the pic). So, what I have seems to be a hybrid. Has anyone else seen a carb like this or have one? Mine is in a 78 Catalina 27.
Thanks,
