Carter AFB

I know this is not the right forum but i have posted this in the right forum with no luck (only 5 replies and i replied to most of them)

but


How can i determine what CFM my carter AFB is buy the casting number?

and buy chance would anyone have any specs on the Carter AFB?

I have got it put back together and i was wondering if it is anything that i should know before i try to run it?

It is a spreadbore carb and i have a spacer the converts it to a square bore. Do i have to run this spacer? I am using the performer RPM intake


Thanks
-Brandon-

It came off a 1968 390 F-100. I am guessing it is a 600 cfm. I have also read somewhere an article that said they had a 670 CFM but they were very very very rare.

I am unaware of any AFB that was a spread bore. Rottenchesters, Thermoquads but and AFB, no.
