The original was a Carter AFB 3854S 500cfm. The carb you want is an edlebrock 600cfm

If using an original Intake manifold The 600 Carter and 600 Edelbrock secondary valves are too large to open. If I remember correctly.

that is correct but only a hair. I doubled up the gasket under the carb, works fine.

FWIW, I have 2 cars with 273 Commando engines that came with the 9636 Eddy carbs on them. I didn't think that these cars ran that well with the Eddy's. I was able to find a 3854, and a 4120 Carter and I feel these cars run better with the original carbs on them. But it was hard to find both of them. But for me, it was worth the effort.
