Could use some help with an explanation for this information
« on: September 18, 2014 - 11:23:26 AM »
Ok, when it comes to Mopar knowledge I consider myself somewhere between a novice and an expert, that's why I joined this forum, to learn more. My car is a '70 Chally RT/SE 440-6, auto-tranny, no AC, non ECC, is currently undergoing restoration. 90% numbers matching already but found out from Mr. Govier that my outboard carburetors match but my center carb is a '71 not a 70.  In my 1970 Dodge Service Manual I saw that the correct number for the center carb should be R4376 for an automatic non ECC 1970 Challenger. I have had no luck yet with finding that correct number but on ebay they have a description for a 70 center carb that I am confused about.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-70-Chrysler-Center-Six-Pack-Holley-Carburetor-0-4144-1/350880239671?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3Dd03be7acb80f423dbb4027f0bfca1e49%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D20131003132420%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D230575256035&rt=nc


"69 70 Chrysler "CENTER" Six Pack Carburetor 0-4144-1
1969 1970 440/390 3X2 (CENTER CARB)
List Number 0–4144–1 is the 350 CFM "Center" Six Pack Carburetor that Orginally came on 1969–70 Chrysler 440 CID 390 HP Engines. Original Castings will have the O.E. Number 3418550."


My guess is that this is a reproduction carb or new carb but not made in 1970? I am confused that they use O.E. and have a different number than what my service manual says.

Can someone help me understand this?

Thanks

I think the term OE or OEM means that is looks like original will fit just like the original but does not have the original part # on it.

thanks, so my next question is if both of my outboard and rear carbs are the correct # and date coded the same, if I were lucky enough to find a R4376 center carb, how important is it that the date code will probably not be the same as the outboard dates? Remember, I am trying to restore to as close to original as possible but to get the exact 3 date codes will be next to impossible I would think
