The carb #s have nothing to do with CFM and chiefly denote which metering rods and jets they have.

The Carter WGD was used on the 288 engines in later years. I find they are easier to build than the WDO models with less fussy adjustments. I have them on 4 different Packards and find they give very little trouble. So happens, I built two of them today for a customer.

Anyway, that is what I would recommend, and they will bolt right on and are equipped with the starter switch. I can sell you a good rebuildable one for $75 shipped to your door.

Otherwise, I am pretty sure I have a WDO that came off either a 288 or a 327 so will work on your car. Same money
