General question for you guys. I have a '70 Challenger R/T, 383 with a Carter AVS 4734S carb w/ECS. What is the air cleaner stud threads for this? I bought a stud from a Mopar site, can't remember which one, but I think it's a 1/4-20 and it appears to be too small for the carb. Just won't stay tight. Hope I'm not dealing with a stripped situation. Always loose ever since I bought the car. Would to verify if I even have the correct air cleaner stud. Thanks guys.
a '70 383 Challenger R/T (335hp) would've originally had a HOLLEY carb
383 automatic - E & B-body - with ECS (N95)
orange HP engine 335hp
---------- Holley R4218-A ---------- part number 3418 543 on b'cast 43
the Carter AVS carbs were used on non-performance (330hp) applications for 1970
sorry, don't have an answer for the air cleaner stud
1/4 20 should be correct for the carb stud , locktite blue would work

Ya what he said! :alan2cents:
Thanks. I'll give it a go.
I think many Holleys were replaced, at a dealership under warranty or from a junk yard/parts store over the years
the seals on the Holley's fuel transfer tube, fail & leak
I've heard rumors of recall & replaced under warranty, but haven't seen a TSB or other paperwork to support it
it wasn't new or "special" basically the same HOLLEY carb was on every '69 440 c-body - I don't think supply was an issue
