It's currently set up as the Ford combo with a 1.08 Autolite. Just not the date code, part number listed for the '64. The carb I have is listed for the '66, with the same specs that the '64 calls for. I also have another carb that needs to be built that is listed for the '64 combo, but it's listed as a manual carb (my car is an auto) As far as I can tell, there is no difference in the venturi size or throttle blade size from the 2 carbs I have compared to the one the combo lists. Everywhere else in the rulebook (heads, pistons, rods, crank, etc, it)specifies NHRA Listed replacement. The carb is the only rule that states that a replacement is allowed as long as it is the same type, venturi size, throttle blade size, etc, which makes me think it's ok. I was just curious if anyone else had already dealt with this that could shed some light. I can do as suggested above, and contact Glendora.
