AMC Carter 4 barrel carb ID chart 1968-69
AMC used Carter carburetors on their vehicles from
67-69. Here is a list of stampings one will need to look for in the lower passenger side
of the base if building a concours level car. While I recommend a new Edelbrock/Carter Series
carb for your engine, some do want to have a original stamped version. Be aware that these
used stamped carbs after 40 years can command $100//low to $500/high, with the rare models
commanding most, and most would need a rebuild. Also be aware that some may/may not
be able to be rebuilt as they can get pits on the bowl from decades of use or even storage
in humid areas if not used. And you won't know until you buy it and try to rebuild
it. A gamble, but for those who want a dated correct carb for judges to look at a
small price to pay for correctness. Otherwise Carter was bought out by Edelbrock
in 1990s and you can get new in box one for $250-$350. AMC changed to Ford's
Autoite/Motorcraft series 4300 carbs starting in 1970.
