the reason it doesnt have a carter carb. is that carter couldn't supply carbs to chrysler for that year. might have been a plant fire, not sure.

I believe it was 85-90 that Rochester supplied the M4ME for 318 -360 engines and these were 4 barrel quadrajets.

Yep, that's a 1971 Rochester 2G for Dodge/Plymouth 318 applications. It will not interchange with GM versions because the baseplate pattern is different.

Good carb.

They probably just couldn't supply enough BBD carbs since so many vehicles were going out the door with 2bbl 318 engines. The 360/400 used a Holley 2bbl but I think the bolt pattern was different and it wouldn't just swap over.

The rochester version is pretty rare. I have one in my collection.

I have one of these on my 71 Swinger. Fender tag said it was a California car.
Its about to be replaced by a Eddy 1406 though.
