The 318 would be jetted for larger cubes and the 225 "super six" carb, I would think, should be jetted more conservatively.  Does it share the same intake pattern?  One could always play with jet sizing and there has to be a ton of those carbs out there somewhere.

Here's my personal (Your Mileage May Vary) take on used carbs.

--> They're all 30+ years old. Buy a new one! :-)

Even rebuilds are a problem; places like Tomco flooded the
market with crap work done on lousy cores.  Being a really
critical part, you want a good one.  If you can find a good
one (I hunted for used Chry carbs to no avail here) go for it
of course.

But I seem to have problems finding stuff like this in socal,
that people in the east (U.S.) don't. I think it's two-fold:
one, there's more AMCs sold east than west; and cars end up
in yards due to rot out there, where here, cars get driven
(no salt, no rust) til they stop running.

I ended up with a Weber -- used from eBay. But it was a Jeep
Weber conversion, so it was 5? or whatever years old, not 30.
