The NAPA CRB2293 crosses with:
Wells E603 (obsolete)
Standard CV11 (obsolete)
Borg Warner TH11 (obsolete)
No one can get these things. Even LMC's listing only shows 71-72. To me it appears that the base is different on the one I need as compared to the only one I have found online (it has only one mounting hole, my manifold has two that flank the coil spring).
I will probably end up building some sort of adapter plate to mount a different one, or if I can buy some sort of electric choke that will divorce mount I might do that. I had wanted to take it back to stock but it looks like that might be impossible.
Doesn't anyone still run this carburetor?
