Hi Ron and All:
I believe you are correct.  The parts book shows the 2317S being used, front 
and rear, for BOTH C300 and 300B.  Then the next line shows for the 300B only, 
a 2444S for the front and a 2445S for the rear.  Refering to the AMA 
specifications, revision 12-5-55 reveals a N/A for the 1956 300.  Of course, this was 
before the 300 was officially announced.  On     2-4-56, the AMA specs were 
revised to specify the 2444S and 2445S for the 300B.  I think it is safe to say 
that early cars did, in fact use the 1955 C300 setup.  The only difference I 
can tell between the later 300B front and rear carbs in in the main metering 
jet and metering rods.   3N56 1049 was built on Jan. 16, 1956.
Hope this helps a little.  300ly, Gil C.
