Carter AFB tag

[Frederick W.]

I have a correct original AFB for my 63 coupe, but it does not have the little foil tag on the left rear airhorn screw. Number and date code correct.

What to do?
Do I need the tag for judging?

Thanks
Fred

Re: Carter AFB tag

the triangular tag will be needed for judging as the judging manual calls out for its presence. repo tags are readily available. try corvette central, long island corvette or paragon. the repos are a little bit less malleable than the originals.mike

Thanks Mike,
I checked LI corvette and it says "NA" for my 3461S.
Corvette Central doesn't return anything on a search.

Paragon has it, but they want $40 for that little foil tag!

Re: Carter AFB tag

Couple items:

1. Are the tags available stamped or unstamped?

2. A vendor at the winter meet showed me a 3460S with a new stamped tag, and said he had two correctly dated 3461S carbs for me to choose from in the rebuild process. I didn't ask as to whether they would be tagged as well because I never considered it to be that important. I don't recall my original 3461S ever having a tag on it and I worked on it from day one. Previous AFB's I had worked on for Chevies and Pontiacs in the years preceding 1963 didn't have tags either. Could be my mind is slipping.
