[Chrysler300] Carter carb identification query

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

"what the hell is that?" - that was the (amazed/pleased) response to some 
people seeing my red (1957) 300C here in South Australia on your Memorial 
Day - it back on the road after chasing a really bad engine noise that 
sounded like a cracked piston/skirt.
6 months later, a welded hair crack in the passenger side exhaust manifold, 
and a few other things, and it is blowing people away visually - most have 
no idea what it is, but love it.  And apart from the woolly feeling 1957 
power steering, what a ball to drive, I now parking my 6 series BM coupe 
which is also fun to drive, but lacks that real 'punch in the back' power of 
the 300C.

2 Questions
1) what are the better front end alignment settings that apparently some in 
Club are aware of to make the car run truer - these different to the factory 
specs?

2) as part of my for now dormant 'super 392 hot up', I obtained a Carter AFB 
that I thought may suit the Weind 2 4bbl alloy Manifold I am to use, but it 
is smaller than need.
It is seemingly the second 4bbl of a twin set up, as it has no choke.  The 
numbers stamped in the front flange are 3258 S, then underneath not as deep 
M 5. Anyone have a code book to tell me what it is off?  Unusually compared 
to other AFBs, looking down the front throats, the venturis come from the 
side.

Better go - I cannot believe my car was off the road for so long finding 
time to fix about three (semingly) small things - message is keep them cars 
on the road, get motivated if they are not?!!

All the best from oz, petrol prices here going through the roof, damp roads 
really lighting up rear tyres under power.
