The wing nuts can be purchased directly from AMK Products out of Winchester, VA. This is the place that provides the hardware to many of the vendors. They do have a $30 minimum order, but it does not take much to put together an order as they have so many pieces once you start to looking at their inventory.
If you are really wanting 100% correct wing nuts, you will need to find originals. The reproductions are close and most people do not know what to look for, but the originals do not have the radius that the reproductions have.

ALL 1971 383 Road Runners had HOLLEY carbs when new! Not according to the factory service manual. Beware that the Service manual doesn't tell you what came with what. Your broadcast sheet does. Do you have one? It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that your car came with a Carter.

Do you have one? It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that your car came with a Carter. No broadcast sheet was ever found with my car. The FSM does indicate what engines that came with what transmission was married up to a specific carb. All you have to know is what engine/tranny combo were available with your particular year/make/model and you will know what carburetor belongs on the car for a specific combo. That is on your fender tag. Broadcast sheets are nice to have but you don't need them to find that out. Various sources on the web suggest that 1971 Roadrunners had more Carters in them than Holleys and the exceptions to that rule I've already mentioned in this thread. My car originally came with a Carter AVS because it came standard with a 383 and 727 auto trans. The FSM backs that up. The Air Grabber hood though, is a completely different story.

People with a lot of knowledge and experience decoding these cars are trying to help you here. The typical number you see coded on the broadcast sheet for a 383 4bbl auto 71 runner without an air grabber is 30. This translates to a Holley carb part number R4668. Typical sheet number for a 383 4bbl auto with air grabber is 42, also a Holley carb.

Can't help you, chum if you don't believe what I'm telling you. Holley R4668 carbs were put on Roadrunners with heated air intakes like I mentioned in a previous post. Mine never came with that option so I got the Carter AVS. Typical numbers found on broadcast sheets are fine for statistical purposes but they do not describe the rules for putting which carb on which car. FSM does.
OK let's see if this makes sense to you. The FSM is a service manual. It's where you go to find out how to repair something or what the specs or settings are for something. It does not tell you what goes on what. For that they have a Parts Manual. If you go to the parts manual. It's section 14-30-0. It shows that the Carter is only used on C Bodies. So yes there is a 383 AT Carter in 71 but it was never used in your application. It was used in the 330HP C body application.
