Re: I need Carburetor Help for rebuild???

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

 It'll be either the 4300 or 4350. Electric choke would seem to indicate the
later 4350 - 1975 onwards even though I'm not sure that any AMC 4 barrel had a
factory electric choke. That started about 1979, after the last AMC 4 barrel was
built.  
 The 4300 is almost a square bore (1 9/16" primarys and 1 11/16" secondaries)
with a flat top where the 4350 is a spreadbore (1 7/16 + 1 15/16) with a
not-flat top. :)
