Very good guess, I have never seen one but I imagine it does look very similar.

Shoot, I don't even know if there is such a thing, sorta like a muffler bearing. my next guess was going to be carb jet cleaning tool

I hate to jump right in here but I am blown away that I would know this. It's a 1970 Plymouth Superbird. I am miles from a Mopar Dude but LOVE those cars and remember staring at that goofy mess once at a show.

I have to assume it's for a super rare vinyl top car? Or do others have it too?

I just did a little google and found one, sure they would have such a beast, how else would you measure jet size?



And here is that Jet cleaning tool! LOL

OMG at least that is what this eBay seller is calling it! LOLOLOLOLOL

Most jets are marked for flow.

Size doesn't necessarily equate to flow. Holley might sell you a 72 jet that measures 71 or 73- because its actual flow is closest to a 72.

Unmarked jets can sometimes be measured using a small numbered drill bit set using the butt end, not the fluted end, obviously.

The guy selling the torch tip cleaner as a jet cleaner is doing no one a favor- using that rough tool inside a jet orifice would ruin the flow through the jet.

You are correct, Brian. I'm no Mopar expert either, but I think all (except race) Superbirds had vinyl tops. They had to have a vinyl top to cover the edges of the special rear window adapter plug.



Good job, Brian. The floor is yours.....

What do the tail lamps below come from?

FoMoCo something. Mid to late 60's. Not GM.

[MARTINSR]

You are correct, and remember, I love the trick questions.

Brian

[dinger]

a 68 Mustang California Edition, my boss had one.

[MARTINSR]

Dan, I am going to give you this one even though I was looking for a little more, like the other two cars that used them, one of them being totally different than the others. You want bonus points?
