Location: Peoples Republic of Oregon | My oem parts manual do not specifically detail the carb, but the 1960 pn is 1821170. Interesting that this number also is used for the 2x4 carbs.
My oem 'Carburetor and Repair Kit' listing shows two carbs for the 1960 Polara, (8 cyl/all transmissions): R1971A and R2052A.
Hope this helps

The 1960 MoPar used AFB Carter Carburetor's for The 383 or 361 sized engine may be --- AFB-2927S, AFB-2950S or AFB-2968S. If The Tags are gone these units will have a
1 7/16th inch Primary Throttle Bore and a 1 9/16 inch Secondary Throttle Bore. The AFB-2903S has the same size of Primary Bore and a 1 11/16 inch Secondary Bore.

This is from a 1960 Factory Service Manual

Measure the holes of your Intake Manifold to make sure of what size that you need.

Your re-placement question
The 1960 - 1967 Carter Carbs all have the same Throttle Linkage Design and Throttle Bore Size.
The 1968 - 1971 Carter Carbs have The same Throttle Bore Size as your 1960 Unit and a different Throttle Linkage Design.
The 1962 - 1967 Carbs may have a PVC Port ( which is a good thing ).
A like Engine Size of a Senior GM Product uses the same carburetor with a different Throttle Linkage Unit.

Hola Duane
The 1960 MoPar used AFB Carter Carburetor's for The 383 or 361 sized engine
not all. dodges used a unique (impossible to find) HOLLEY 4bbl on big block engines, or at least the 383. iirc on these carbs the idle speed is adjusted via a screw hidden under the center stud for the air cleaner!

I was only giving information to what can be referred to as ordinary or normal, not an exception.
