Default Tillotson carb number 66 sportster

All, I am looking for the Tillotson part number for my 66 sportster. I have an HD1C and a HD2D card that I can rebuild. Are either of these correct for 1966?

The harley parts listing calls for a 27162-66. What is the conversion to the Tillotson number?

thank you

Good luck on finding the conversion number for a Tillotson.
I have never come across such a cross reference myself.

There are much better choices of carbs to hang on a Sportster instead of a Tillotson. But maybe you want to retain the original carb.

All I can tell you is a 1966 had a Model HD carb. I am not sure about the '1C and 2D' business. Probably not a dime's worth of difference between the two.

I may have a few more bits of information regarding the rebuilding and repair of the Model HD carb, if you need it.

Are there still some parts around for these things? I think they were used until 1970 or so.
