1967 Carb Tag finish
« on: August 17, 2015, 11:47:30 AM »
I had a question on a carb tag. I received a repo carb tag from Marti Auto Works and it has a brass finish. Is this a correct finish for the car? I have a 1967 GTA S Code Fastback, San Jose Built, Dec 1966 build date.

Thanks for your help,
Travis Waters

My understanding is that carburetor brass tags were used on cars with emissions and or built in Cali..

Great thanks!!!

I've seen tags in different locations, where iwould the correct location be for this tag on the 4 barrel Holley.

Thanks again

Thermactor or no thermactor (as mentioned makes a difference

For 67 I would mount the tag on the choke main body mounting (to carb body) screw. Red arrow in picture
