    Did your feet get wider as you got older?

    Correct carburetor for 1966 273 cu in 2 barrel

    Thanks, I found a copy of the FSM and it looks like it should be a 4114S for the automatic trans models. Did find another source showing it as 4114SA...guessing they just added an A on the end to indicate auto trans. application.
