Back in early 1980 I had an Autolite 4300 spreadbore I aquired from someone who was "upgrading" to a Holley. I think I sold it for $65. Did I just earn Dummy of the Year?

The 71 has 2 brass rear vent tubes and cast in front vent...unlike 72 up.How can ya tell if ya have a 71 model? I have one laying around somewhere ,leaked raw fuel into my engine so it got nixxed for an Edelbrock...
The 71 carburetors have angled air screws, not straight.How can ya tell if ya have a 71 model? I have one laying around somewhere ,leaked raw fuel into my engine so it got nixxed for an Edelbrock...
71 push in Jets are rare as hen's teethIt's rare, but if it's missing parts....the 71 is an air metered carburetor. 72 and up were fuel metered. Chrysler replaced a crapton of those carburetors under service bulletins. That should tell you something. I wouldn't have one. Pain in the *** to tune....as if they're not already. But if you're a glutton for punishment, go for it.
The 72 design is far superior to the air bled version. The fuel delivery is more linear with a solid fuel carb versus the emulsion design that is a compromise at best.The later 1972 fuel metered design made it easier to control emissions. The 1971 is actually a simpler design....than the later models. Schoolboy could work on them.
You could bolt on 10 different 850's and one might make more power than the other 9 because its particular calibration is better suited to that engine so it the must be the better carb of the 10 yeah..........850 v 850
I agree. Many parts arent even given a basic cleaning before being listed...my 0.02.Regardless of the part, the asking price depends on how serious the seller is in wanting to sell the part and how badly the buyer wants it. Have you seen some of the prices members are asking here in the classifieds for other parts?
A set of 340/360 A body exhaust manifolds (not the earlier hi-po ones) for $850
A 340 air intake pie tin (just the pie tin) for $350 oI agree. And most parts are not even cleaned. If you really want to sell it...My 0.02.
Yep. I just shake my head and scroll on by. I think those are still for sale.Regardless of the part, the asking price depends on how serious the seller is in wanting to sell the part and how badly the buyer wants it.
