Re: [Chrysler300] Carter AFB - Edlebrock carb help needed

["c300c@xxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christopher,

 

I have always had good luck with AFB carbs, no experience with the Edelbrock line, but I have had great results on 3 vehicles using new factory replacement Holley carbs.

 

The first Holley was mounted on my 1972 Chrysler T&C 440 c.i. station wagon, better fuel mileage and power.

 

The second Holley was for my 1975 Lincoln 460 c.i. Coupe, also much better power and mileage.

The third Holley was on a modified 1979 Corvette 350 c.i. , tremendous increase in performance.

 

That said, if you want to keep the stock appearance, go with the Edlebrock,

300-C conv. 392 c.i.WCFB carbs,runs very well

Q1. Motor with a 60s/300 style 4bbl Carter AFB type carburetor on it - brake real hard, near panic stop, and motor stalls as if gas/fuel flooding/pouring out of carb float chambers and into the carb/motor guts/intake, and it richens motor too much so it stalls   - is this common with thyis type carb in this situation, AND IF SO IS THERE A CURE??
The same carb is now sold as an Edlebrock
Q2. - tuner guys have said put a 4bbl Holley on motor to cure it instantly - DOES THSAT SOUND TRUE?

Christopher in Australia - 1st day of spring, and/but just rained hail and sleet outside. And for US300ly grain farmers, many Southern Australian winter grain farmers badly need rain, plus savage frosts a while back totally ruined many crops before they even ripen

I see there was a seemingly nice red 300C on ebay last week, at around $57k, no takers.  I realise 300G looks is a maybe acquired taste, so that one selling in the $60ks was not too su rprising given the sad situation re both its's owners, despite it normally should have bought maybe a 25% higher price than usual due to it's known quality/standard?.\
And in the past, was $60s to 70ks a fair/good/average figure for real good '57-61 300 Coupes, so maybe not much changed. But against that one of the bigger Market Report email/websites, just posted few days ago, that now annual Monterey Sales just ended, averaging all big US auction Sales/Results, prices up around 30% - not seemingly with 300s though.
Anyhow, key thing is enjoy driving them, as what they worth only any good if you selling!!
