340 SixPack outboard carb question
« on: November 11, 2010 - 04:43:42 PM »
Hello there,

I understood that 340 six pack outboard carburetor codes are 4789 (front) and 4790 (rear). What´s the difference between these two carbs? Is there any harm if the set up is having two 4790 coded carbs  :clueless:
...and there goes the Challenger, the last american hero, the soul hero, the demigod, the super driver of the golden west. The last beautiful free soul on this planet!

I believe it is only the jet plates for front and back.  6pks have to be tuned for each app, so it will work for you when tuned right with 2 90's on there

yes, there will be promax plates installed, so no issues then. Thanks for the verification  :thumbsup:

just for the curiosity... I´m having correct center carb for my T/A with manual transmission but what´s the difference between the center carbs 4791 (for manual) and 4792 (for automatic)?

Probably the linkage and jets differ slightly.

Jetting tips for the 340+6

If a completely stock system try increasing the jet size on the centre carb up to #63 each side (manual trans) or #64 (automatic) but leave the outer carbs alone.

If a stock Aluminum Edelbrock Manifold;

----------------------------------Throttle Side--------- Diaphragm Side
Front Carburetor MMO------------- .086----------------------.073
Center Carburetor Jet-------------- #63---------------------- #63
PVCR--------------------------------- .046--------------------- .046
Rear Carburetor MMO--------------- .086-------------------- .073

Same as above but with heat cross-over blocked;

------------------------------------Throttle Side-------- Diaphragm Side
Front Carburetor MMO-------------- .086--------------------- .073
Center Carburetor Jet-------------- #64---------------------- #64
PVCR--------------------------------- .046---------------------- .046
Rear Carburetor MMO----------------.086--------------------- .073
