[Chrysler300] WCFB



Hi all,
Into a problematic single quad setup WCFB, it sat 15-20 years with bad gas in it , gummed up , even throttle blades so sticky In bores spring cannot pull the carb closed .  A little depressing , it has obviously also been messed with ( to Jamie’s point a few weeks back ) ; manual choke hacked into it.
I know they are good carbs when working right but once gummed up , or moronized, one wonders if removing all the lead balls etc to clean out passages might be needed . Not sure , but not into an atomic carb rebuild of unknown outcome today either   For daily driver . Pro rebuild takes forever , not always all roses either ,  and big $ .. 
So why the  post ? WCFB is actually less than a 400 cfm carb , so wondered if small afb ( edelbrock) might have same bore centers .. like a 500 or 625 .  And so fit on WCFB bolts a or throttle bore locations ?  ? Has anyone changed from WCFB to a later carb.?? . afb is obvious successor ? Can Machine manifold , but easier probably  to get another WCFB . Maybe . 
Thoughts welcome , not advocating , but wondering . Rather a new serviceable carb, than an unknown walk in the park for more money..  and if on a trip , cannot get WCFB parts any more... generally . 
Thanks,
J
