Default Need some Carb info

It appears that I have a correct AFB carb on my 63 SWC, but the tag is missing, does anyone know the CFM rating and the model number. Its a 327/300 4 spd.... Thanks

The number should be 3461S per the GM book. The one I had was the same and it was stamped in the face of the rt. front mounting boss. Not sure of the CFM. Hope this helps. :cheers:

In addition to 3461S the tag has the GMPD long number - 3826004 and a date code. Mine is B3 - Feb '63.

The main body also has 3461S stamped on the lower front face of the main body adjacent to the mounting stud hole and "CB3" stamped below it.

The air flow rating is 550 CFM @ 1.5" Hg. depression.
