You can also place small white nylon cable tie to the push rods, just be careful when clipping them off that they don’t fall back into the motor.

I believe 301 bases are taller to accommodate the “shorter” 301. So you can’t use a 400 setup on a 301 and vice versa. I ran across this when I was looking to find a cheap 301 to throw in my car just...

i don't know the exact answer, but I suspect that since we can't get the gas that was used in the 60's, the slight difference in the carbs is lost to the ages
