Without noting specifics, the A & B versions include running changes in fuel metering and adjustments to address problems noted on the original version.

Differences in jets and rods since the 3721S was only used on the 327/300, so it was leaned out since the prior 3461S had to work for both 300 and 340 HP engines.

Subsequent releases richened it up slightly including bigger (.037") idle jets that are built into the primary venturi clusters compared to .035" on previous versions including the 3461S.
