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

[Bob Merritt <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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!
