    Correct El Mundo Even back in 1967 Mopar recommended an Edelbrock Dual-Plane High-Rise Intake Manifold, and the Holley 780 CFM Vacuum-Secondary Carburetor to properly hop up the 383. One wonders, Why they didn't offer that up as an Engine Option with the .484" Lift / 284* Duration Camshaft.

    1967 Plymouth GTX 440/375 HP Bill Stiles {October 1966} Even in 'all stock form', the Carter AFB does not provide enough fuel for the 440. It starves out badly at Top End. The engine needs a lot more air-fuel flow. If I built this car out for a 'legal' NHRA Stocker. We'd be in the Ballpark...

    Aaron 65 I believe that for the Drag Test for Super Stock and Drag Illustrated, the only upgrade to the 'Carter AFB' #4327S was changing the Primary Jets from .098" to .101". Just a little 'richening' of the Air-Fuel Mixture.
