Ld340 vs ld4b

Hello Locomotion, I think I'm confused with the terminology, what is square bore?
thanks
Ron

Hi Ron,
That just means that all 4 barrels of the carb are pretty much the same bore size. A "spread bore" carb is like a Thermoquad or Quadrajet, where the front, primary barrels are a lot smaller than the rear secondaries. They started that for mileage and emissions in the '70's.

Some older Carter carbs have primary and secondary barrels obviously a "little" different, but are probably still considered "square bore".
