69 Cuda engine questions.

What carb came on these cars originally and what color was the engine? 1969 Fastback 'Cuda, 383HP 4 speed A57 package.

the Carter AVS ran from 68 to mid 71 till the thermoquad came out so that would be my guess

Correct, and the engine was turquoise.

1968 and 1969 HP383 had AVS carbs, Mopar switch the 383 HP to Holleys in 1970./71. No Thermobogs on any 383 from the factory
Is your car a non CA car? If so it probably has a different part number than the CA cars had, same thing with automatics having a different carb#s than the 4 speed motors.
As far as engine colors in A body I'm not sure, I think most of the HP 383 where street hemi orange but maybe not
I remember seeing a early 383 1968 Road runner 4 speed car with the Turqoise colored motor

Cab, it's a non CA. car. The reason I'm asking is the white books show if the engine came with a Carter it would be turquoise and if it came with a Holley it would be orange. Most of the '69 383 A body pics on forabodiesonly.com show the engines orange with chrome valve covers with a Carter carb. Kind of confusing. Thanks for the answers so far.

The 340 was turquoise, but what were the 383's?

1969
a big block a-body - the 383HP was orange (A/C was not available)

the 1969 383 Road Runners & Super Bees with A/C had turquoise engine

So, were those 383 w-a/c motors 330 or 335hp that year?

330hp

Thanks 6bblgt.

4615S Carter AVS on a street hemi orange engine 330 horsepower...

Not a 69, my 68 383 Formula S has the original engine and it was turquois, they claim all HP 383's were orange, But!!!
Dave

who is "they"?

the only orange engine in 1968 is the HEMI

67 and 68 383's are all turquoise...

This is correct

This is also correct

my 69 charger's 383 was also turquoise, non-AC, and had an AVS. 330hp.
