I just got a carter AFB competition series carb and the numbers on it are 9637 SA 2527. I am trying to find a manual on it and what CFM it is but have had no luck. any help appreciated

The Carter 9637 is a Ford replacement 625 cfm with emissions outlets.

On the old 9000 series Carters
9625 GM linkage carb, 9635 GM linkage with emissions hookups
9626 Mopar linkage carb, 9636 Mopar linkage with emissions hookups
9627 Ford linkage carb, 9637 Ford linkage with emissions hookups
all of the above with automatic choke.

The Carter Comp. Series carbs (universal linkage carbs, all with manual choke or no choke) had a different numbering system.

so this carb is for a ford?

will it at least bolt up to my 305 ?

should, might have to change the linkage or modify....maybe buy an adaptor if it's a square bore and you have a spread intake which i think is stock for the 305.

ok, thanks for the info

just a word of free advice. remember that advice is worth what you pay for it, which in this case is nothing.
NEVER BUY ANYTHING YOU HAVE NOT RESEARCHED!
and that means even if it looks like the best deal in the world. dont buy it until you not only know everything about it but you know every place you can get it and what the price is at all those places. and dont be afraid to tell people you are cheap, and only want a deal and you will be back if it is the best deal you can find and if you dont come back its not the best deal.
yes you might miss a good deal once in a while, but the money you will save getting exactly what you need, for the best possible price, will far outweigh your missing that one deal.
and getting it on the cheap is half the fun. the other half is installing and driving with it knowing some poor fool has the exact same thing but he paid 3 times what you paid.

well, I didn't buy it. It was given to me for free but I was also told that it was off of a SBC. Free is Free ! just looking for info on it. and what i need to make it work!

Some of the worst money spent I've seen on this Board is trying to install something that was "free".

If this was originally a computer controlled q-jet, that Carter is an absolute downgrade. If your q-jet is FUBAR, it would make more sense to get a rebuilt q-jet than to try to install that Carter.

Free is rarely free. This is a proof case of that.

ok, thanks for the replys! I wont be using the computer in the car. I have been wanting to change the carb and distributor to non ccc and change my lockup and get rid of the computer all together. I have a non computer controlled Q-Jet but I will need to rebuild it and put a different throttle shaft in it so I will have the TV cable hookup.

I understand it's your car and all, but I don't see why people are hell-bent on removing the best street performance system out there and downgrade to non-computer.

well, its not really like that for me. everything on the computer is so damn old that I don't know if it is worth fixing back original. when I got the cars the wires were off the carb and cut then one of them had the distributor changed over already etc... I am used to the older non-computer controlled stuff so that's just what i went with since it was already half done on both cars. one of them even had the 02 sensor torched off. just a big mess that I could fix easily by removing the computer controlled stuff.

I've got an '82 system that is in great shape you can have. But, it won't have the knock sensor.
