the early stages of the D-Dart. The first carb used was a 4160 #3116
600 cfm, off the 65' Race Hemi's.

Paul,

Hot Rod (I think) also did an article about using the carb base from a 3705sa carb from a '64 Max Wedge and putting it on the 273 4bbl manifold then put the rest of the stock carb on this base so that unless you looked real close you would swear it was stock.
