The 361/305 is the same size as the 318/260 AFB and is probably in the 500 to 525 range. These AFBs have no weights in the back but work quite well for their size. The way I read it, the 383 to 426/365 can run the replacement carb but not the 361, maybe nobody asked for it, cant hurt to try. If I wasn't neck deep in my 2 projects cars now I would be very interested in the 361/305 as this is the motor that started it all for me back in 71.

Paul, I wish I was at that point. That 61 361/305 looks like fun with the big valves(2.08/1.74).
