Re: [Chrysler300] Old Carbs

Ray:

I have used the Edelbrock carbs on many occasions although not on rams. They
work quite well. One item of note however is the air horn size. Although
they might be represented as AFB's, in all my instances the air horn size
was equivalent to the AVS carb - bigger! You will have to modify your air
breather bases to fit. You should call their hotline and verify the size
before you buy!
