Topic: Fitting round tops on later engine.

[jakec]

I have round top carbs off a 72. I have a 77 engine. Can I use the boots from the 72 to install the carbs? The intake ports on the 77 engine are larger. Just wanted to ask before I try and force them on.

yeah, I know it works.  Use the 70-76 boots.  It may be necessary to carve them out slightly with a flapper wheel on a die grinder or something.  I don't think so though, just good, soft, fresh boots with a heat gun and some grease.

 I lubed mine up and they twisted on, they were not real soft , but somewhat flexible. .

I used my ‘72 boots, just needed a heat gun and they went right in.
