1964 DYNAMIC 88 ****CARB QUESTION****
I have a 1964 Dynamic 88 that was originally a 2 bbl on a 394 ci. I bought a 4 bbl intake for the 394, but cant figure out which carb I need for the new intake. I believe after all my search efforts that The carb number I need is 4GC #7024050 Is this correct? Where can I get the correct carb? Any help/suggestions/feedback/anticipated problems is appreciated-Thanks
Heres the link to pics if you need them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

The 4GC is the correct carb for the 394. You might try Evil-bay to find a carburetor. Fusicks and Kanter might carry one as well.

carb
Should I anticipate any linkage issues or trans shifting issues converting from 2bbl to a 4bbl? Its got the 4 sp roto-hydramatic. It shifts great now, but heard it can be a very "stubborn" tranny.

How do I know exactly what # carb I need? How do I know if I need manual or automatic choke? Theres so many different variations of the same carb Im getting frustrated trying to figure out what I need, and what I dont need on the carb? I just want to make sure my trans will shift properly,I get more power from take off, and a nice idle. Im not picky lol
HERES A FOR INSTANCE- Whats the difference between the Rochester 4GC #7020955 and the 4GC #7024050?

If you are restoring your car "original" then you will want the specific carb that came on your car. This may be difficult. Your best bet it to locat a parts car in a salvage yard and remove the carb from it. The only problem is that you will have to find a car with the 4 barrel option. Truthfully, I don't know if the 4 barrel carbuertor was an option for your car. Do some asking around, I am sure someone will know.
You could always find a 4GC carburetor that was mated to a Slim Jim and you should be good to go. However, those transmissions are so finicky I would be wary about changing anything with the TV rod.
