Hello,

actually I couldn't find a Edelbrock that was identical to the original Carter 4bbl carb used on the 313 and 318 Poly V8s. This meant that the 1403, 1404 etc that I bought from Edelbrock (nice carbs, BTW) had different linkages and modification was a bit tricky. Martin can surely help you in sending you a modified Edelbrock but you must ask him.

At the end, finding a Carter 3131S or a 3249 on eBay USA proved quite easy (thanks Jim) and for $150 each (dollars, not pounds) I bought the original carbs 'as new'. Of course you need to buy a renewal kit for the same carbs and have them overhauled ($50+shipping). The car goes quite well now and I didn't have to change the linkages.

Cheers

Stefano
