What I am looking for is for those who really can spot a problem that would cause for point deduction when being judged by the NCRS.
Could those who have one look and see if you can spot any potential problems.
I am helping friend who is doing this and I know that sometimes changes occurred during the model year, etc. I can get the build date if needed.
My friends do have the NCRS judging manual....but are sometimes having a hard time trying to figure out descriptions in it...and that is where I am coming in at
This is a 327/250HP manual transmission.
I believe the carb is the correct number ( I asked)...the main concern they have if it has all correct attaching parts, etc.
I know about the choke tube....so...if anyone has a correct carb that is like this one and can post photos, etc. It would be a great help.

It looks pretty darn good to me....a close up of the choke housing would be good - it should have specific text on it...
You have to be careful hooking up the return spring...the hooked end actually goes through the shaft hole on the carb linkage - it looks odd but that's how it goes...
The carb mounting studs look inordinately tall to me...
Those tan carb-to-air cleaner gaskets can cause "white rust" (e.g. corrosion) I won't use 'em anymore - find the black ones for your pal....

Hmmm....that doesn't look right. No text. Should have arrows (LEAN-RICH) and CARTER CLIMATIC CONTROL IIRC.
Chuck Smith carb company has the right one....it'll be part number #2061 I think....confirm that... I may have one lurking around if that doesn't work...
There are a few on ebay ...

The studs should also have a dimple on the top. No body makes those so you will have to find original ones, if you can.
Folks should note in lib's pics the burnt paint on the intake below the carb where the exhaust runners are. Wonder why these carbs often percolate ??
The carb-to-air cleaner gasket is correct too. The one in DUB's pics is for the C1 WCFBs and has the half circle cut outs for the brass vent tubes on the older carbs. lib's pics also show the proper choke cover. There are other cosmetics in the pictures that aren't correct; the PCV valve hook up, the unsecured temp sensor insulated line, etc..
There is some debate about the vac advance rubber hose having a white stripe along it. IIRC it is Critter1 that cites that as being incorrect on 63's even though all the vendors carry it....BUT do what you have to do according to the Judging Guide... NCRS game, NCRS rules...
I guess I am in search of a photo of the carburetor return spring bracket that is secured to the intake.
No one out there have a photo of it that is a CORRECT part???
If not...thanks for all those who responded to this thread.
DUB
My personal, base motor '63.
No hits on regional Judging 15 months back...
The intake end of the spring hooks in the outboard hole in the two hole bracket on the base motor...
Note how the carb end of the spring hooks THROUGH the accelerator linkage rod hole and how the rubber grommet and nylon bushing are oriented - no cotter pin is used...
