so where does the #4749 that i pulled off a couple 71 383 4- speed N96 cars come into play?

ademon, what's the date code? My guess is that it will be after 1971 and likely 1973 or later. That is listed as a standard replacement carb for any 68-71 383/400 engine.

I forgot, i just sold it a few days ago.

Well here it is, for those whom have never seen one, the "Bigfoot" of the carb world has finally surfaced, it's real, it exists. I seriously don't believe many, if any, ever got put on production cars, this may be a prototype or from a pilot car (notice the early date code) but it's now proven to be at least a possibility.

Here's a few more shots

Scott, maybe its the 5 hours of sleep i get a night, but are the sec larger than the primary plates?

My friend has a '71 Cuda 383, 4spd, non fresh air hood, with A/C. I've been looking for many years for the rite carb for him. It's been so long, i think it's supposed to be a 4667. So basically he should find something else?

I have to go upstairs in my attic now.. I have a lot of those Holley OEM carbs.......

Nice thread...

Ok, i just looked in my GG book that i marked for my friends carb. His build sheet has the "48" so it is the R4667 carb. Is it safe to say we should look for a R6191???? Is that the correct logical choice??......This "kid" (maybe 30ish yrs old) has had the car since he started driving! Loaded car and i mean loaded with options. Stuff like plum crazy, color key grill, A/C, 4spd. I forget all the rest but he had GG do window stickers for him and it took 2 sheets! I think the car was over $5k new? Thanks, Dave

If the car has a super early production date, he might be able to scare up a 4667, if the car is not a super early car, then a 6191 is probably his only option, at least as far as originality is concerned. I think Scott has a couple of 6191's in stock, you should contact him and find out.

My car's production date is 8-7-70 should this car have been built with the R4667A carb or the service manual list number of R6191A. Thanks for any help.
