    I want to check the fast idle throttle plate clearance on my RBS-1V carb. My Chiltons manual says the clearance specs are:

    0.040" for a DOZF-C
    0.046 for a DOZF-D

    These are the only two ID tags listed. This is an older manual and my '74 Carb ID tag has the following information:

    D4DE AAA
    A3 K 16

    I have a Detroit Iron shop manual on CD but it does not have any carb specs listed.
    Does anyone have any technical cross references?
    Or should I just go with one of the two gaps listed in my Chiltons manual.
    Thanks.

    I think I may have found a solution. Just watched a good utube video on RBS-1V adjustments. He just screwed in the fast idle screw until it just touches the 2nd step of the fast idle cam. That automatically sets it correct for the 1st step (fully choked). I tried it and now it runs great.
    Thanks but if you have that spec I will write it in my Chiltons manual.
