Detailed Description

This Hygrade carburetor repair kit is designed for restoring fuel metering and sealing performance in Ford 2-bbl. carburetors.

Installation Notes and Tips

Match the vehicle application and carburetor identification carefully, since the fitment notes include specific carburetor codes. Use the included instructions during disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly to help maintain correct sealing and linkage operation. Part number 685 should be confirmed against the existing carburetor before installation.
