Re: [Chrysler300] AFB Bowl Volume - '61 G with base engine (375 HP)

["Michael Reed" <mrreed@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've used a ketchup squeeze bottle for years to prime the carbs on my "F" -- fits nicely into the opening of the vent tubes.

I've never tried a mustard bottle...maybe that's the difference.  ;-)

  I have a Carter AFB for the K apart, non ram. A quick and dirty estimate of
  one bowl chamber
  is 9.72 cubic inches. (160 cc).

  The G carb is smaller but I'd bet the float chambers are the same as the K.

  I'd guess actual volume is much less since a fella has to subtract off 
  the volume of the
  float.

  Yes, my mustard bottle that I use for prime is too big for the vent 
  holes so what I miss
  down the vent acts as prime in the manifold.

  By the way, you can prime WCFB's this same way, see

  about 50 seconds into it.

  Hi ho
  Soon to the Lake D'George!
