It's cool, but what is it called?

[thegroundpounder99]

When you twist the handle, only the 1/4 drive moves. Anybody seen or know what it would be called?

Look's like it might be a tool for adjusting idle air screws on carburetors.

 

[Roju1985]

I've seen them used to adjust carburetors, not sure of the name though.

 

[fatfillup]

Definitely a carb tool and also gm distributor tool. Likely came with a screwdriver socket or 2, allen socket and a few others

That's a thingamabob. Some might confuse it with a thingamajig, but it is in fact a thingamabob. Hope this helps.

 

[Roberts210]

Naw JRC3... I think it's a whatchamacallit.

 

[dbabicky]

Could be a "Gicky-Hicky" or a "Duma-Flotchy" !! LOL !!

I know just what I would love to do with it on trolls but I regress...

See if this helps you out:

snap on sells another version that is flexible, its awesome!! put sockets on it and run something out once broken loose, or use it to start a fastener that you cant get your hands on. Well worth the 25 bucks.

It's for adjusting carbs. I have a kit that I bought off the SO truck probably 8 years ago. I'll add a picture when I get home.

Yep, carb adjusting tool. Any brand name or logo on it?

 

[3 Gun Shooter]

You use it for adjusting carburetors and GM points, kit should include 3 different flat screw driver type sockets and a ball end allan wrench socket. I also bought a double D socket for later Quadrajets.

It's a Snap On/Blue Point tool, Snap On also made one with a flew where the bend is.

 

[bonneyman]

I made one not too long ago, as my 80's truck has a carb, and so few shops will actually work on carbed vehicles.

 

[fatfillup]

Still sell the kit. $106.

Is it right handed or left handed ? Makes a difference on which Carb you use it on!

^ this. some were made with a short section of flexible shaft at the drive end - we sold them in Indestro - full kit was a #2820 - attachments were available separately.
mostly for GM Quadrajets and 1957-1974 GM V8 distributors, as I recall.

 

[thegroundpounder99]

I knew you guys would know. I had a exciter wire on a starter just being a PITA and guy had this worked awesome. He didn't know what it was either but I bought it at the price he paid at yard sale couple weeks ago lol.

Now that's an oddball! Looks like it could be handy though.

gee... that's funny... 40 years ago they were fairly common...

So were carburetors. LOL

Someone under 40 might wonder the same thing about this.
