Ha! this is a good one. If you get the carbs that are listed in the Guide as the "original" carbs then you will have a carb with a venturi size of 1.250. THAT is the correct carb for the car. BUT what's correct and what NHRA accepts are two totally different things.
Tecnically, if you run the original carb you're not legal because it's too small.
The carb you're looking for came on Mercury Marine engines, U-Haul trucks and some medium duty military trucks. The 1.375 carb never came on a car.
