RE: [Chrysler300] Old Carbs

["Lee Meyer" <js23rob@xxxxxxx>]

The new edelbrock carbs can be made to work sweet without too much
hassle. The biggest problem is the air cleaners wont fit because of the
larger edelbrock carb throat size. You will have to make new air cleaner
bases with the proper hole size, once installed you would not be able to
see the new base really anyway. There is a guy out there making
fiberglas repro ram air cleaners and he makes bases to fit the new carbs
as well. I believe his name was mike something and he was on the west
coast from what I remember. The linkage can be adapted easily if you are
a fairly mechanical guy.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Old Carbs

 Hi, I'm sick and tired of working on the 41 year
old carbs on my 1964 300K crossram, and was wondering
if anyone has swapped new Edelbrock (AFB) carbs for the 
stock ones. It looks like the EDL 1404 500 cfm, manual
choke would be the carbs.
 What I would like to know from anyone that has done the 
swap is did they have any problems adapting the linkage
to the new carbs?
 I understand that many of the group members belive that
the cars have to stay original, but because of these carbs
I'm going to miss the spring meet this year. To have the
stock carbs rebuild by a Pro carb shop would cost almost
$600.00 the Edelbrock's are a little over $400.00 for brand 
new.
 Thank you,
    Ray
