LOL………………those original matching carbs are rare as a 3 legged chicken. I looked for my list of carb#"s of coarse my filing system let me down again. I bought matching rebuilt carbs last year…….for the price I could have taken a winter holiday. That being said the workmanship on the rebuild is impeccable I haven't seen a Swiss watch as lovely. That being said if you are not committed on originality I would consider other options. The lour ise intake for the 57 is a poor choice there's better intakes and carbs available and really better single four barrel performance carbs. I did post pictures of these carbs on the forum but I can't seem find that post either(I still don't know how to do that) Good luck with your search

I was on the phone last evening doing some checking for carbs, the fellow has a 392 Hemi original rebuild with dual 4bbl intake (original ) or so he said but no carbs. My thought just maybe he might have a couple carbs squirrelled away No Luck there

The correct carbs for 300c are WCFB 2534 and 2535. Ron
Agree. I don't know why I thought that 2334 was the 300C carb
If a 57 300C is a C76-300, carbs are as Ron suggests (mostly) 2534S Front and 2535S rear. I don't know the significance of the "S" except maybe (?) that is the automatic carb(s) and no "S" = standard transmission carbs (??)

In my '57 New Yorker build, I just used AFB's from '57-'58. Although not correct for a dual quad 392, they did use them on dual quad 361 and 383 motors from '58-'59. And they very likely work better than the WCFB anyway.
But I know you Swedes think it is absolute drek if it isn't completely stock.....

I think the "S" is on all Carter WCFB and AFB carbs. The D-501 uses the same carbs as the 300-C and they are all manual transmission. I think they use a different number if there is a distinction between auto and manual.
