5.0 out of 5 stars Works great so far on my 1973 Jeep Commando w/ AMC 304 V8!
I was a little hesitant buying a cheap knockoff carburetor thinking I should instead install on my 1973 Jeep Commando a $500 Holley (I like/try to buy American whenever possible). So I initially purchased a Holley 350 Performance 2-barrel (assuming it's still Made in USA...it better be at $500) with a manual choke from Morris 4x4. Expecting to get a shipment notice in a day or so from Morris, a week went by before I called customer service. They then told me they could not ship the carb to California as it was not smog legal even though my '73 Jeep was smog exempt. Cancelled that order. I could have then bought the same Holley from Summit Racing where to deal with California they give the option of clicking a box stating that that the carb will be going on a pre-smog or off road vehicle. Or I could driven two hours to Summit's Sparks, Nevada store and "smuggled" my illegal Holley over the border! The station at Donner Summit only asks if you have fruit or plants...they haven't yet started to ask for illegal carburetors! And that's a big "yet". At this point I decided to rebuild the beat up carb I had taken off with a quality kit from Mike's Carburetors. All good, I set myself up for a carb rebuild then got to trying to remove the main jets for cleaning. The jets were frozen in the carb. I was afraid of galling the brass jets with a screwdriver and bought a $20 Holley jet removal tool at my local auto parts store. Problem solved right? Wrong. The jets were so frozen in the carb that I bent the little tangs on my brand new tool. That's when I started to look more seriously at the Auto Parts Prodigy carbs. What really sold me (besides the $97 price) were the positive reviews especially those with the same engine I have (thank you Jared Stivers). If this carb proved a bust I always had the Holley to go with and I figured the State of California will be a few years away from asking more than if you have just fruit and plants at their border inspection stations (I say that now but the way things are going it could be a lot sooner...). Yesterday was the test fire on my Commando. I invited my carb-whisperer buddy over for the fire up (he has restored a number of old British Sports cars...enough said right!). We made sure the initial timing was set correctly (I had R&R'd the distributer to install a point-less ignition) and checked that the two idle screws were set 1 1/2 turns out each then cranked her over. Took a little cranking to get the float bowl filled but it fired up. After warming up we adjusted the idle screws a bit and the fast idle setting. Adjusted the electric choke as well. The engine produced a nice smooth idle and almost 20 inches of steady vacuum. Test drive was great, no bogs, hesitatation, stumbles, leaks. Plus it fires up instantly after hot. Cold starts are ok too. All in all I'm very happy with this carb so far.
5.0 out of 5 stars good running carburetor
This carburetor runs very well, I just adjusted the choke each morning for a few days to get the cold start choke setting where I wanted it then adjusted the air fuel screws and it starts and runs really well i'm impressed for the price.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with the purchase
This carburetor works great. Put it on very minor air fuel adjustment. I’ve not touched it since I put it on Truck starts right up and And runs like it should. Very satisfied.
4.0 out of 5 stars It works for IH SV engines!
I put this on an old International 345. I had to do a little clearancing on the water neck as well as the accelerator pump arm but it runs so much better than the old Holley. I did have a defective choke pull off on mine but other than that it’s working great for less than $100.
1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this carburator
The carburetor fit the manifold fine, I was able to adjust correctly. It operated fine for about 6 cranks, then started leaking fuel around the accelerator pump plunger, and bowl gasket! The vacuum pull off for the choke never worked.Do not buy this! It is JUNK!!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars ,exact fit, new gaskets, quick and easy switch
What is not to like, fired up and idled right down. Would recommend.Tom
5.0 out of 5 stars Works!! Looks shiny new and well made.
Took 30 minutes to swap out my holley for this carb on my Volvo 3.0gld. It started after 2nd crank. After adjusting the throttle linkage, it purrs!! Great value. Highly recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Dependable Part
This carburetor was easy to install and it took care of my problem with my 60 ford truck. The price was very reasonable, and I would purchase from this company again.

muy bueno excelente calidad y servicio
Save your money..chinese poor quality junk..
Hi...Its cheap for a reason!.. no instructions, fuel line has a 3/8 entry not the 1/2 inch that the fuel line is.. air filter housing wont fit due to fuel vent on top off carb.. no gaskets supplied only spacer plate.. very poor quality item.. when finally hooked up on temp set up float inoperative fuel floods out top..so if you want to burn your vehicle and shop down then this is the carb for you!!.. save some more money and get a branded one that works!!! 2/10..and thats for the shipping!... avoid at all costs...lesson learnt...
Almost perfect
It looks the part unfortunately the unit does night fit due to the auto choke linkages, requires a full change!

Ya me llegó mi pedido en perfectas condiciones, y tal como lo esperaba, se tardó un poco más de lo previsto, pero es entendible puesto que viene del extranjero.
