Re: [Chrysler300] Old Carbs

[Jack Farris <jackfarris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ray,

A couple ago, when rebuilding and souping the 383 in my 66/300, I swapped my
original Carter 4131 for an Edelbrock 1411. What I discovered in the process
is that the bolt pattern on the 1411 was larger and would not fit the
original intake manifold. It did fit a manifold that I got from a '70
Roadrunner, however,--which I'm now using in my '66. Also, I had to use
Edelbrock's throttle linkage adapter, which works fine.

I don't know about a 1404, but it would be worth checking the fit before you
buy. Your '64K is a totally different animal than my '66, and a 1404 may
bolt right up.

Jack
