Questions with Carter AFB

I have 2 Carter AFB's is good condition I got today .
My problem is to what engine they were on . The guy told me a 318 but I don't think so !
The numbers I found are as follows 3213S the other 3213S
F5 under the first number F5 & B5 under the second number

Can anyone help or tell me where I can find out what they are for .
Any help will be great !

welcome to the forum!

I know that they are a 60 CFM carbs. I would be willing to bet that they were on either a 360 or maybe even a 340. I never heard of a 318 coming with 4 barrel but I could be wrong.

All this information is great !
Thanks for all the help for the new guy here !

Does anyone know what these carbs are worth ? They look as if they were rebuilt and never put back on . I just want to know if I paid to much for them .

Thanks again to all !!
Jim

How much they are worth depends on the person buying them, location, and how many others are selling what you have as well.

For example: I had bought about 6 dana 300 transfer cases around mefor $50 to $100 each. I found out that they were going for $250 to $400 each out in the northwest. I cleaned them up, posted them online for $200 plus shipping and sold each one out in that area. Around me they are plentyful. Out in the northwest, not so much.
