The FoMoCo tag on my 4V carburetor says C4AF-R and A3KD.
There is no C4AF-R in my 1969 shop manual. There's a C9AF-R, which is an
Autolite 4300 that came on Ford, Mercury, and Meteor's with a 429 with an
automatic. Yes, I double checked and the second character is definately a
four (4) and not a nine (9). From the pictures in the book it doesn't look
like an Autolite 4300, it looks like an Autolite 4100, but it indicates that
only came on Ford and Mercury 428 police interceptors with automatic in
1969. According to the book, I should have a C9ZF-E, which is an Autolite
4300. Again, it looks nothing like a 4300.
Anyone know what a C4AF-R and A3KD is and what it came off of?

Well C4 is a '64 carb so it may be a swap out. I don't believe the 4300 was
around in '64 so that would explain it being a 4100. If FastEd would pop in
he may be able to shed some light on it. I may see him tomorrow and ask him
to take look. StuK

Something seems to be very amiss. The C4 designation is listed in 1963,
and vice versa. C1 is in 1963 also. There is no C4AF-R on this.
There's not even an Autolite listed for 1969. Here's an example.

I found the C4AF-R listed on that website.
It is for a 1964 352 V8.
It is an Autolite 4100. The CFM rating is 600.
Not a bad carb, but not for large displacement Big Blocks.

Now I'm wondering if there was a carburetor swap OR an engine swap. Do I
have a 390 or a 352? Isn't there supposed to be a tag under the coil
support?

I look at reams of numbers all day long. I must have missed it. Thanks
for catching what I didn't with Ctrl+F (?!). D'OH
Six hundred? Joe, with a good cam, you need the 750 for your 390.
You're undercarbureted! More horsies and ft/lbs for you. Does she seem
lean or does she seem to flatten out at say 4000+?

I don't know how easy it is to put a 352 Y block into a car designed for
an FE or a Windsor (okay, or a six also). I just think you've got the
wrong carburetor.

Move over, sonny, your embarassing yourself. The 352 is an FE. If the
car in question is supposed to be and original GT, then there would be
date codes all over the engine parts. Let me know if you want them
pointed out.
