Re: Whine from the carb

What is this part called and what's it function? Should I probably replace? Any help is appreciated. This board and the venerable board members are so helpful as I'm replacing all the parts on my 67 c10.
You likely have a spread-bore manifold and need the adaptor the other guys mentioned as well as a nice EGR block-off plate with new gasket.
