Carter Carburetor Casting or Part Numbers

[Christopher R.]

I'm trying to identify a Carter choke housing that has the numbers "170 - 886" cast onto the back of the housing. Anybody have any idea to what carb it belongs?

I thought I remembered that at one time someone posted a list of Carter carburetor part numbers. But I couldn't find it anywhere.

The Carter carb number info I've seen posted is for the air horn/body/base main pieces; don't recall anything that got down to the choke housing...

I am attaching a photo of a choke housing from a Carter 3461 carburetor. The number on this is a little different.

170-575 I believe is the number for a 62 3269 AFB so my guess is yours would be around 63-4 time frame. But it could be any GM or Chrysler carb. Sorry I don't have a list of choke housing application numbers either. They all look and operate pretty much the same. I see a good topic here for a Restorer article.
