Hi All,
  I picked up this early 289 hipo carb and I believe matching intake over the winter. The carb and tag read C40F-AL.  The date code is 4D on both carb and intake. I noticed the carb has tube sticking down into right front venturi, which is different than other C40F-AL carbs I have seen. Can anyone tell me what this carb and intake came off of as I believe its too early for a mustang. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Ed
