 Topic: What Carb is This?Posted: Oct/20/2014 at 10:30am |

Hey guys, I have this carb on my 327... Looking into it, it now seems that it's not the right carb and was for a 287.
The numbers are: R 3218 A Any thoughts? Is this carb even worth rebuilding or should I just upgrade?   Any input would be appreciated, if you guys could point me in the right direction of a proper rebuild kit, or if the proper 327 carb would fit on this intake manifold? Thanks guys

I'm not sure but it looks like someone was trying to save fuel.

I believe it's still a 2 barrel. Not much fuel to be saved there really. Is there another carb that I can look for that can be put on this manifold? Possibly a carb that is already rebuilt?

I thought I saw two barrels when looking down the carb, but that doesn't make sense looking at these other carbs.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a rebuild kit or already rebuilt carb that will fit this manifold? |

A holley 2300 should fit, I have them on both of my 2bbl manifolds, but to be honest if you can find a 4bbl manifold go for it. It makes a huge difference in fuel consumption and more power if you need it. I might be wrong but I think the carb you have is a 2209.

Ditto on the four barrel manifold and 4150 Holley. My car was ordered with the 2bb - I drove it for years that way, and finally relinquished on putting the 4 bbl on it. It is SUCH a happier engine. Better milage and more power when needed.

That is a 2bbl but it certainly does not look like the Holly that was on my Dad's '63 660 with a V8.
