Yes, They are the component that fiters air and fuel to the exhaust. People tend to steal them off cars for scrap. Your car will sound like a junker and smell without one.
Carburetors were pretty much phased out in the 1980's and replaced with fuel injection systems.

What is a deuces on cars?
2 Carburetors
What is the last year a car was produced with a carburater?
they STILL PRODUCE CARS WITH carburetors IN India
Why are carburetors still used in drag cars and muscle cars?
Carburetors provide a perfect, stable fuel/air mixture at full throttle. Decades of development have gone into fuel jets, intake manifolds and all the other details required for carburetors in high performance engines. And tweaking them can be achieved with simple mechanical changes.The usual advantages of fuel injection don't apply here: cold weather starting, dynamic adjustment of parameters while driving.Eventually, fuel injection will replace carburetors as a new generation of mechanics come of age who are more comfortable changing computer settings. But it will take them years to invent all the tricks that the current top fuel mechanics already have for their carburetors.
Do cars have carburetors?
Most of newer model cars and trucks now run on a direct-injection system instead of a carburetor.
Why carburetors are used in some automobiles and not used in some automobiles?
Old cars have the carburettor. Modern cars now have electronic fuel injection system
Why do cars flood?
Usually, too many pumps on the gas pedal, especially back in the days of carburetors.
Why are carburetors still used in drag cars and muscle cars as oppose to these cars using an electronic based fuel delivery system?
You forgot to add: NASCAR race cars also have carbs. Fuel injection systems simply do not have the power or top speed. Most of the "muscle cars" from the 70's (and other cars), all had Carbs back then.
What were cars like in the 1980s?
American autos in the 80s were changing over from carburetors to electronic fuel injection and computers.
Is 2002 Chevy Malibu fuel injection or carburetor?
Fuel injection. Carburetors went away in cars in the late 1980s.
What are dual carburetors?
carburetors with 2 barrels
How do you know if a car engine uses a carburetor to distribute the fuel?
The carburetor should be easily visible on most cars. It will most likely be located somewhere between the air filter and the intake manifold on the engine. Most carburetors are bolted to the top of the intake manifold on top of the engine. Fuel injected cars will have no such device. Cars older than 80's models will likely be carbureted, while almost all cars 90's and later are fuel injected. also, all diesel engines are fuel injected. It should be noted that carburetors do not actually distribute fuel, but mix fuel and air in the correct ratios for combustion.
What is the part of a car engine that begins with CAR?
There is the CARburetor, which mixes the air and gas to the right ratio in some cars. the carburetors have largely been replaced with Electronic Fuel Injection for modern cars.
