The carbs are AFB 4971 front and 4970 rear. Research showed they were used on 70, 71 Dodge Dart Hi Performance (2 carbs) 426 engine. The cam is stock 318 poly. The electronic ignition is from a 73 Duster 340 engine using a GM modulator, 12 volt start, 12 volt run and a MSD black laydown epoxy filled coil.
Dick, all of your cars are truly gorgeous! Each one far exceeds even the highest levels of excellence. Charlene's red paint and clear finish is so vibrant and smooth as glass and perfectly complemented be the laser straight stainless and trim and She sounds absolutely beautiful!
Dick, Matthew told me that my Miss Jade was built at the LA plant just 32 Sport Fury's behind your Greenie. I wonder if they were ever in the same parking lot at the same time waiting to get shipped out? Greenie is my inspiration of what I hope to some day have my Miss Jade looking like.
I am the fifth owner, always garaged. When l got her in 2005 there was 43,100 on the speedo. Absolutely no rust anywhere, l said anywhere. Still none.
Dick.
