Such as a very late model year build? I was not dressed to do any numbers checking/digging but I did see the AVS air door when he pulled the air cleaner to prime it. Thank you for your time

It's a Mopar, never say never.

Alright

i don't think so. the avs was a smog era carb and model year 1967 didn't have to meet those standards. all the '67 440's I know of had afb's. there were some 440's with small holleys but i'm not sure which year they were.

67 was AFB only, If it had an AVS it was almost certainly swapped. Sure, never say never, but in this case I'll say it until someone can prove otherwise without any doubt.

Just check the number stamped on the base, or if it has a tag under the lid bolt. That will tell everything

The guy says he "knows" it is a 440 & it has at first glance that grungy "original/untouched" look as does the AVS & it has a yellow vac cap on the bowl vent for the hose to the charcoal canister that a 68 car would have. I will check numbers the next time I get over there but the guy says he really doesn't want to come off of it (I may have to put some hundreds in my pocket!). & it is a 2 dr. Thanks guys.

Vacuum cap? No way

1970 first year for that, IIRC. 2¢

Oh OK '70 is the first year for the canister? Yeah I gotta get some numbers. Yes the vac cap has been added. It ran (barely).

After all those years, carb went bad and replaced it with a newer one, simple. In 68 years I have a few things replaced on me too.

But an AVS doesn't fit where an AFB has been

at first glance the only thing that looked off was the AVS (with the bright yellow vac cap!) & if I am reading the responses right that a 67 car (even a late build) could (should?) not have an AVS (which AFAIK is a 68 to mid 71 emissions carb) then all that is left is for me to go back over there in my grubbies & do some digging & get some numbers. (eng number/letter on machined pad by dist/carb #) Thanks guys.

Morty are you saying an AVS will not bolt on an OE AFB manifold?

I thought the AFB had a smaller bolt pattern. I have only owned 1 AFB 4 barrel intake and it looks way smaller to me than the AVS manifolds I have

there's small bolt pattern afb's and large pattern. isn't a '67 magnum intake the same as a '68? were the '66 and down intakes used in '67?

it did not have the good HP ex manifolds (so its a 350 horse I am assuming) if that helps.

I don't know about a 67, but according to the 68 fsm and also this rebuild kit instruction sheet say an AVS was used in 68 on 383's and 440's.

I'll have to go with what Mr. Smith said,no exception !!

After all the love I got on this one, I will get over there when I can.
