Hi Folks,
I need a little advice. I have a 66 Catalina with a YD 389 and a/c. I'm wanting to replace the stock 2bbl intake and carb with a stock 4bbl intake and carb. I'm hopeing to check out the Charlotte auto fair in a couple of weeks and maybe find one there. What is the stock set up? Carter carb? What year models will fit my 66 and what do I need to look for to keep it factory stock??? How easy (or difficult) would this conversion be? Linkage? Are there any such animals for sale here? Thanks, Kevin |

Carter AFB is the stock carb. I believe 65 and 66 carbs are the same, but am not positive. ( I put a 70 intake and Q-jet on my 65 389). There are some web sites for the AFB, try a google search for more info. I do know that the 65-66 intakes are the only ones that are stock and will fit. 67 used the Q-jet manifold and 64 will not fit. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Intakes from 65-72 are the best choices.
65-66 use the AFB carb and Some 67's came with the AFB also. Starting in 67 the Q-Jet became standard. There is nothing at all wrong with running a nice AFB. Done it for years!
