1959 Cadillac Series 62 Carter AFB carburetor installation questions / pictures

[cadillacjoe59]

Finally going to get my 59 back on the road after it sitting for many, many years. Pulled the carb to rebuild and discovered it was one off of a 65 Caddy. Its the Carter AFB. Since it wasn't the original carb and missing the entire choke assembly decided to buy one online and swap out.

The questions I have is does anyone have any pictures of original Carter AFB carburetor installations on 59's? I have a 3/8" thick spacer that was under the carb which I believe is required as the ounting nuts will run out of threads without the spacer installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The questions I have is does anyone have any pictures of original Carter AFB carburetor installations on 59's? I have several different style gaskets that go between carb base, insulator (Spacer) and manifold, but not 100% sure which to install.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check in the service manual and parts list.   There might be a period Carter installation manual, I have for rebuild.   My '59 manifold is for tripower.
Not sure on '59 but based on my '58 w/ AFB, I'd say "62 driver" is about right.
