DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES APPEARANCE:
The Model BC Carburetors for 1957 incorporate a new low air horn design, to facilitate lower hood styling. Along with decrease in height, air horn con­struction has been altered to include ,a center stud hole for simpler and more positive air cleaner mounting ing. A larger fuel inlet is used with a pressed bead type strainer installed under the fuel inlet nut. The new type strainer can be easily removed for cleaning and will give improved fuel filtering,
OPERATION:
A new type power piston is used this year with a solid stem for more support to eliminate any possi­bility of the end flaring.
With the exception of minor calibration changes to meet new engine requirements the carburetors are the same in operation and adjustment as the 1956 Models.
