I have the #'s in the shop, but there are numerous websites that have them as well (SAAC for one). I think you will discover that while one had a choke..it was NOT electric. Tube off the exhaust is what heated them. Electric chokes came later.

thanks for the input. i have 2 1850's it now, but i know they are not correct. if you get a chance and you can send the #'s to me it would be greatly appreciated. meanwhile i will try the saac website.. thanks again.

you mentioned for a 63 427.....the numbers i gave you are for 65 and up medium riser
the low risers were different carbs. C3AF...etc carls has those also.

um, if your using the factory linkage and fuel log you'll be ok, snap a pic of what you have now and i'll be able to tell you for sure. does it look like this?

i am using the factory fuel log and i think this is what it looks like. car is not here right now, but i will check for sure tomorrow. thanks so much for your help. and yes you are right. right now it has the low rise manifold and would need the other # carbs. i will send you a pic if neccessary. thanks again

what heads are you using? are they C5AE-F? if so get the BC\BD carbs if you have the 406/427 low riser heads then use the BJ\BK carbs. this linkage will only be friendly with the factory or the reproduction factory intakes.

I have a correct set of BC/BD carbs, that have been beautifully restored/rebuilt. I've bought carbs from Carls Ford before, and these are as nice if not nicer than what I bought from him, email me if you are interested.

were the 63-64 carbs still 715 cfm? i was told at one time they were like 650's. thanks for your help. i have the 63 heads. i know there were a couple different head #'s in 63 64 and i have the better heads of the 2. i can't see the #'s right now cause it's a little crowded in the engine compartment!..lol i have the #'s written down in a file, but not handy.

the bj\bk's are 600 cfm. sounds like you should go with those.
