Correct carb for 361 HP?

[PatsPolara]

I have a '62 Dodge with a 361 HP motor, does anyone know what the correct original carb would be for this? It has a Carter AFB 4bbl on it, but I'm not sure if that's stock.

Hey khryslerkid and chignikred, do you guys recognize this carb? This is what was on the car, it's a Carter AFB but the front pad doesn't have the model number. Whoever rebuilt it engraved their name in that spot, not sure if it was already blank there or if he machined off the number.. Blank might mean it was a replacement carb instead of original?

 

[khryslerkid]

The numbers were probably ground off. Looks like grinding marks there.

Here's mine.

I'm not sure what year they started useing the vacuum pull off. Yours might be newer?

 

[PatsPolara]

Yeah maybe newer. What a knucklehead if he erased the number so he could write Marv lol.. Not sure what kit to get for this now. There's a 3578S sitting in the trunk, maybe I should use that?

 

[brian6pac]

I would be looking for "marv" and kick him in his balls!

 

[khryslerkid]

Most kits cover quite a few models. I was researching the vacuum choke pull offs, also called brake, and they seem to be for 1965 and up. I saw one for a '64.

3578 looks like a Buick carb.

Yikes, well I'm not putting a Buick carb on it.. I'll look around and see if I can find an og. Marv's carb is leaking like a sieve!

3252 or 3253 or 3257

Are these all the same CFM? I wonder if they were all used on HP engines or if just the 3257 was..

I can't believe it, I was looking through some old reg cards in the glove box and I found Marv!!
