Did You Get Screwed?

To my knowledge no 360 ever had the small carb from the factory.

The '78 Aspen wagon 360/160hp has had both sizes listed in the tech sheets. One reason I liked it was because it provided more options and bettered the odds of getting a good core. But many of the later 360-4 specs are blanketed with a 289 HP factor anyway, regardless of cam size or carb size!

Actually every 360, 340 and 318 TQ equipped combo was offered with the small (1 3/ 8 ) primary. Very few list the large secondary carb. The large secondary was mainly offered in big block combos although some BBs came with the small primary only. I have the lists of every Carter TQ that was offered by Chrysler and what year, C.I., and it's part number. Be glad to send it to you. Jim

Example: If you look up the 1976 Volare with the 360 engine in the NHRA blueprint guide, it will list 5 TQ numbers accepted by NHRA. The first two of these are small primary carbs and the other three are large primary carbs.

Jim is right.....Both small and big carbs have been legal on that combo
for as long as I can remember.

However, I never find ANY Difference in performance on a 360
between the big and small carb.

We have set the National Record a few years back with a 360 combo
and the carbs varied more one to another without consideration of size
of primary.

We run a 1980 Volare 360 combo.
It has a small bore TQ on it, by the carb number, it's for a 1974 360.
Got torn down this year, carb was checked & found legal.

Jim I haven't been Screwed in a long time.

Steve,
You need to get out of the garage more often.
