The 1966 Rochester center carb actually has a smaller carb venturi vs the 64-65 center carbs. But the center carb airhorn is the same size as the rear carbs so all the same air cleaners. Never...

The #4782...

We had a bunch of special casting done over the years (at my old job) and typically the run was 50 pieces or less. Maybe 30 pieces...
