The carb has an electric choke.
If it starts warm in less than 30 seconds and a near dead battery, I’m happy.1406 is the AFB copy and 1906 is the AVS...I wouldn't call that an improved 1406. It's an AVS vs an AFB.
The spacer will likely mess with carb linkage
Either way it should fix your wagon up.
Remember to use a metal filter, they come with plastic. I read that those filters are a big cause of old car firesIf it starts warm in less than 30 seconds and a near dead battery, I’m happy.
there was a pretty big spacer on my TQ. This is about double that. Should be ok.
I see it getting a lot more miles next summerYou may learn to LOVE your wagon!
The vents are just outside the metering rod covers on top of the carb. Little rectangle shaped holes.I don't see a bowl vent on the carb you bought

I counted 12 professions carb rebuilds I’ve done to cars now - all successful - and this is the first I had to toss. This is the first time I had to convert to a modem carb. Damn. I guess I’ll sell it somewhere. Basically a new TQ. Somebody should get something out of it.
accelerator cable and factory air cleaner all fit. Didn’t Like how the cruise control fit so I didn’t connect it yet. Doesn’t work anyway!
oil change done today.
Two things:
1. looks like I never changed the plugs. Is this done from underneath? Looks like it looking up.
2. there is a heat damper on the passenger side exhaust downpipe. Which way is open and which is closed? Thinking it’s a good idea to just rig it open.
