What do these numbers mean?

Hello all,

I'm looking to buy a edelbrock performer manifold that comes with a carburetor. The guy selling it doesn't know what kind of carb it is other than it's possibly a motorcraft and it has D40E-AA stamped on the base of it.

Does anyone know what carb this is or at least a site to help me id it?

Thanks in advance

That number corresponds to a Motorcraft carb for a 1974 351C 4V engine with automatic transmission. It's probably a model 4300.

Umm, not to sound ignorant, but what does the 4V mean? 4 valves/cylinder? And what size is a 4300, cfm wise?

Thanks

It should be about a 600cfm. 4300 is just the model number (design) of the carb.

PS those are pretty good carbs if it is in good shape.
