Hello,

After soaking my carb bracket in evaptorust, it appears that it was painted a light gray. Is this correct?  1969 Shelby GT350 4-speed

Hello Fellow Newbie,

Your carb bracket...do you know if its original to your car? If yes or you think it is...does your bracket have a hump in it for clearance for PCV hose or is it flat with no hump.

Just curious...

+1 on the P & O

As far as design you might indicate when the car was built as it may play into which bracket was installed.
