It sure does not look like any of the carbs I have seen on the i-6s, so I am not sure.

My 67 has the Rochester B and my 70 has a Monojet.

Hopefully some one else that knows more about it will chime in.

did a Google image search for "single barrel carter carb." A pic of that one came up on a camaro website. Here's what it said:

"Carter Carburetors
The Carter "YF" single barrel carburetor was used only in 1967, and only on the six-cylinder engines with A.I.R. (Air Injection Reactor, aka "Smog"). "

so... designed for a 6 cyl if nothing else, right? good luck!

according to my carb kit book. it came off of a 72 jeep with a 232 or 258 6 cylinder. carb kit number 518c.

thanks guys, ill see if i can get a rebuild kit for it but i did put it on my 292, and it flies! does have a small leak(gaskets are dried and cracked lol. and someone cut off the choke tower and linkage so i have to manually run the choke by starting the truck then running under hood then moving the choke, then have to hold ot open with a wire lol. but its way better then my old carb that wouldn't run above 1500-2000rpms.
oh yeah thought you'd guys like this i got this for 72cents at the scrap yard! best 72cents ever.

Most Carter YF carbs for GM are 1947 to 53 or so. You need a Rochester B that looks like
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1126540 rock auto has one for 93.00

your carb is for
AMERICAN MOTORS 1970-1976
FORD 1966-1978, 1980-1982
JEEP 1971-1976
MERCURY 1968-1974

ok thanks dwcsr! that real cheap autozone and the other parts stores in my areas are asking 200$!! for a carb for my 292. i'll save up for that rochester, im hoping one day to go with either a 2x1 or 3x1 intake will the rochester's perform well in multiple carb setups? however in the meantime, that carter is working real well right now, at least my trucks back on the road. thank to everyone!

Glad to hear that you found a carb that works.
