There are a lot of variations in the linkage of those carbs. through the years. Sometimes you can cut off the lower part if your application doesnt need it. Or you will need a spacer. Make sure the bottom matches up. Some of the older models had heat passages under the carb. If they dont cover all the opinings you will need a plate under it.
