No I believe the 400's came AFB & 428 Qjets.

Intake has correct 67 date code.

Put some Mystery oil down in the holes & benched the carb...all shafts were frozen....good old PB Blaster..she is free now.

I see last owner may have tried to paint motor...I'm thinking wrong color...should be my favorite Pontiac Metallic blue.

Cool car. AFBs on 400s in B bodies in 1967 anyway.

It's a shame the corn cob engineering performed by previous owner. I'm curious about the carb, also. Must of been looking for a way to use up AFB stock of carbs? Seems doubtful concerning that, with specific carbs per application? Or maybe not.
Is the interior a gold color?
It looked decent with the rally 2's on it w/ trim rings, jet my opinion...

Luckily we have someone here with Carter parts, Jon Hardgrove!

Using the AFBs on the full size 67s with 400s was probably a smart move. As I recall, weren't there some problems with the Qjets when they were first introduced...in 1967? I carpooled with a guy for years that had a 67 Cat convert w the 400 4 barrel setup. It was no muscle car, but it would move damn good. It had the factory AFB setup rated at 325HP if memory serves me correctly. His next door neighbor convinced him to try some huge holley carb on it instead of the AFB. That didn't last long. Car ran completely like SH**t with that setup.
