Dick (and everyone else):
Thanks for the info. This is like forensic
science, trying to determine past history from present evidence! Knowing
my father, it sure wouldn't suprise me if he had pulled the Holley (if
that's what was on it) and just put that Carter on there - sounds like what many
people might do.
I am 95% sure that the engine is from our old '67
Imp - I'm pulling it in a few weeks and will get the block # from it to help
confirm. Is there any way to determine (with engine & trans. only) if
it had the CAP system? Linkage, brackets, other telltale clues? I
thought I had noticed other comments regarding the Holleys with the fuel line on
a different side? The '67 blocks didn't have the VIN # on them, if I'm
correct.
There's really no reason why I shouldn't rebuild
the Carter 4327S and put it on, is there? The original 413 for the 300L
has long since been sold in my brother's '67 Charger, so I'll never have a true
numbers matching 300L anyway - that Carter should work fine?
"The Basement" holds 5 AFBs, 3 AVSs, 3 Holleys, and
I didn't bother to count the Thermo Quads. All in different states - from
totally complete, to in pieces. (Did I mention pack-rat?) The
closest Carter # that I could find to the '67, was that 4327S.
Lastly, what does that "A-134" mean? Is
that a designation for High Performance? I'm waiting for my '67 shop
manual to arrive in the mail.
As far as an Auto-Pilot is concerned - it is VERY
possible that there is one down there. It will take me quite some time to
get through everything in "The Basement", but I will keep a look out for one as
I go. I'm pretty sure he took a lot of stuff off that old '67 (sorry, it's
gone), in fact, he put the driver's side, power seat into the 300L. I'm
also guessing that there should be some stuff from our '72 Imp there
too.
I'll keep everyone posted on discoveries - ask for
specifics like Dick did, and that will help guide me. Thanks again,
Dan

'67?
If the car was a
Cleaner Air Package (CAP) car, it would have come with a 4312S. If it
did not have the CAP package, it would have come with a Holley R3667A (my
sympathies).
The 4327S was used on
the 440s in the lesser cars without CAP, if they had the ?high performance?
option with automatic transmission, but it was not original equipment for any
Imperial, according to the parts book.
If you come across a
complete Auto-Pilot for a 67/68, I?d appreciate a chance to buy it from
you.

Subject: IML: correct carb for
'67?
First time caller / long time
reader. By the way, great website, great people, invaluable info, I'm
sending a check to help out with the costs.
Here are a few "tech"
questions:
My '67 Crown Coupe 440 cid
has a Carter AVS #4635S on it currently. Based on info from "tocmp.com",
this carb belongs on a 1968 Dodge 383 w/ AC & an A/T. It just
doesn't work right either.
Q-1: Can anyone confirm the
correct carburetor and # that belongs on a '67 Crown Coupe? There
was a Holley # 4160-C used in '67, and I believe mostly Carter
AFB's, used as the factory carbs. "thecarburetorshop.com" lists (in
their kits section) 6 different Carter AFB's.
Q-2: Our website has great
info and a description of the "C.A.P." system (which would cover 4 of the 6
choices). What does the "A-134" (which covers the other 2 choices)
engine designation mean?
Q-3: I do have a Carter AFB
4327S in the basement (along with about 15 other late '60's - early '70's
Mopar carbs). "thecarburetorshop.com" lists this as the carb for the
A-134 engine. Is this right for a 1967 Crown?
By the way, "the basement" is FULL
of '60's-'70's Mopar parts (my late Father's lifelong pack-rat efforts).
EVERTHING from brakes to engines to carbs to interiors and on and on and
on. I have taken over the restoration of his 1965 300L, which has the
engine from our old '67 Crown Coupe - hence the question regarding
carbs. As I figure out what is in "The Basement", I will offer it
to the club first. I promise I won't just rent a dumpster (or two)
and toss it! I know how hard some of the "correct" stuff is to
find!
Any info on the carbs would
help.

trans)
'72 LeBaron (probably some of it
left down there)
'65 300L (with the heart and soul
of an Imperial)
