Greetings! First time on the Forum. I've had a '67 Newport sedan for about two years now, and need to clean/rebuild, or replace the Stromberg WWC3 3-276 2 bbl. carb. Being a newbie to major auto work, I thought a full rebuild might be beyond my skills. I bought an older rebuilt 3-263 at a good price, thought it would be a good fit/replacement. I just looked at an old Motor's Repair Manual (see attached photo) and it looks like the 3-263 is from '66, but is intended for a higher fast idle than the 3-276. So, what is the impact of using the 3-263 on the '67 Newport, and what model might that 3-263 have been intended for? Should I wait and find the correct model? In the end, I want to keep the car "original", so I don't want to go away from the Stromberg. Thanks in advance for the advice!
