300 buick questions

Can anyone tell give me a 4 barrel carburator # rochester or carter that will work on a 64 buick wildcat,300 engine?I have the right intake#but,i'm looking for the right carb to go on it. I was told that the 401 carb# 7024044 was to big but,it bolts up perfectly.I just nee a point of reference to start with.

In 1964, the 300 4bbl used a Rochester carb of about 450-500 cfm. Numbers as follows:

1964 300 Auto Trans: Rochester 4-GC 7024044

1964 300 Stand Trans: Rochester 4-GC 7024045

Cheers,

I already have the 7024044 but, the bottom design is different from the intake design. Does this make a difference or,do i need to get a carb that's the same design. I may have read the # wrong. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I'm not a carb man at all so,PLEASE have patience with me.THANKS,BIG$GRIP32.

OK... have a look here:

From what you've posted, you identified a carb that bolts up correctly... right? It appears to be the correct one from the number you provided. The 401 Rochester is #7024040.
