They list my 383 with automatic transmission correctly as having a 4bbl Carter AVS. Even lists the correct number for the AVS. This is correct. If you are dead set on using a parts manual, which is ok but shouldn't be used by itself, go back to the previous posts by Morty et al.. and refer back to the P,C, and D car line. That's the criteria on which my carb was chosen. All Plymouth all Dodge and all Chrysler lines with no conditions which would alter the selection to have a Holley based on heated air or fresh air. If you go to that line, it mentions that the standard 4 bbl carb used was a Carter AVS under reference 114. That's my carb!!

At the very least, look around the web at various sites, you'll end up seeing the same thing I'm seeing. After all this stuff we're discussing isn't classified or top secret. It's common knowledge. The problem you and everyone else on here are having is with interpretation.


You don't see a problem with your link not listing one single Holley four barrel for 1971?

Really?1? Are you kidding me? Are your eyes open bud, or have you missed another bus? You don't see the reference for 6125 c-4-AVS for 383 A/T and no other 4 BBL carb including anything from Holley?

Yet Holley 4 barrels are in the FSM that YOU quoted! Yes, Holleys came with heated air and Fresh Air. Imagine that. And I provided proof of it too.

Yet they are listed in the Factory Parts Manual. Explained.

Yet they are listed on Broadcast sheets. Why? Is it because a certain percentage of those collected had fresh air or heated air intake? What about those that didn't?

Wow.
yeah wow.
