Best I can tell thats what is stamped on it.
The original Competition Series carbs had a number that started with a '4'. I have heard some of these later models, 9XXX, also had the 'Competition Series' moniker on the air horn but they were emissions carbs with emission ports, elec choke & leaner jetting.
Just sayin what I've had and seen. I've had probably fifty or more through the years. They are also all over Ebay.RRR,
I have an original 1980 Carter Catalog which has a one page feature on these carbs.
Nowhere is the word 'Competition' used. I have heard that later models had the plate added across the air horn, probably for 'sales'.
Says this:
'The 9501 & 9626 are emission calibrated & certified for emission on a 1971 383 engine with stock Chrysler manifold, factory dual exh & auto trans'.
Happy to email this page if you PM an email address.
The Comp Series 4XXX carbs did not have an auto choke, some had a manual choke & the 500 & 750 version was available without a choke. The 750, #4762, without choke had richer sec jets & richer rods.
What you seem to be missing is, these are not factory carburetors like you are referring to. They were aftermarket carburetors available through Summit and local speed shops. Edelbrock bought the rights and still makes the same basic carburetor today. I've even had some really early Edelbrocks that still had the 9636 Carter number, instead of the 1405 or 1406.RRR,

Yes, depending on the yearThe original Competition Series carbs had a number that started with a '4'. I have heard some of these later models, 9XXX, also had the 'Competition Series' moniker on the air horn but they were emissions carbs with emission ports, elec choke & leaner jetting.
Build it and chunk it in somethin. Hell, you ain't THAT old.
U will $400.00 usd on FBBO. KimThe reason I asked about this carb is that I have a poly 318 dual intake buried in the shed somewhere. I would sell it but the poly guys are cheaper than the slant guys! LOL UNLESS he is one that will build his engine!!!! Ten the sky is the limit! I was thinking IF i had a matching carb that would give me a pair even though I have no plans to use it. Most of the 9636 on feebay are stupid high! No one is goona give $300 for a dirty ole core off FleaBay!
