While the engine was replaced -- which carb is on the engine?
The one from the previous engine, or the one which was on the
replacement engine when its car was rear-ended?


CARB?? What the heck is a CARB.


For you youngsters out there , a carb is an analog device for mixing fuel
and air in approximately the proper proportions to burn efficiently .


And some were weirder than others. For example, the SU carbs on
the MGA and MGB sports cars. (Weird, but really a nice design -- and no
Lucas electrics to go bad on that part. :-)

However, the SU electric fuel pump was infamous for quitting in
the middle of a trip. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
