The bottom pic is a factory stock configuration for al general purposes. Remember being a teenager a traveling to the sticks just to see one. A big red Chrysler Imperial & when we raised the hood it looked alien. Hell it still does.

The Carter AFB's were far better carbs than the newer Thermoquads ever were. I bought a new AFB for my 70 Roadrunner and it was sooo much easier to tune than the average Holly and it has a bit better off the line performance. However in the end I went with Holly for it's better mid range and top end performance. Sad that so few kids today can actually build motors or even understand how one works.
Carters were easy to tune but suck for dumping fuel.

Get a Q-Jet, find a guy that knows how to build a carb and tune a Q-Jet and then you have something.
