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 !!

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.
