Lets just say

If a person wanted to stay as original as humanly possible, what carb would i be hunting for in regards to the 4bbl 302? any help would be great, thanks Rick

 

No Maverick ever came with 4 barrell. I guess I would look for an Autolite 4V if I wanted it to appear original though.

 

by chance is that carb available new, or am i looking at a rebuild?

 

Rebuild or rebuilt. Search the junkyards and find one for a rebuild.

cool link- way out of my price range. thanks!

 

If you get a carb (Autolite) from an early 390 it will be a 600 CFM unit. That will work very well with a 302

 

Yeah, they are high. Just use the site for reference though. Great photos and stuff. Should help you find what you need...maybe on eBay.

 

i have tryed to find the thread that would give me some kind of ref- but i must be doing something wrong.thanks for the info , my search continues.:Handshake

 

Look at this one on eBay

Just search for "autolite 4300"

 

after a quick call to my local carb shop, they are telling me that not only did the 4300 have some major flaws, but that it would create too much vacume. anyone have a thought on that. they recomend a holley 1800.

 

All i know is that mine wistled like a freight train lol, holleys are nice

 

your 4300 autolite made noise and you prefer the holley. which holley do you have. im looking for 600 cfm. as low buck as possible.

 

Ill check later on today, the car is sitting at maverick mniacs house an hour away.
