That's what I thought too and I just found out that the second line is the rev and manufacture info so this would be revA of the design, and manufactured on Feb 23rd 1978.The D5 means it's a 1975 part number.
Jeff, Really, an Edelbroke! Just kidding. Chuckunless you are keeping the car stock, I would change over to a Holley or (I can't believe I am saying this) an Edelbrock. It will mean either an adapter or an intake change and it will be more expensive than fixing or replacing the 4300D-but
The 4300D is like unsupported computer software. It might work just fine for a long time, but when it doesn't getting it repaired is harder, more expensive and time consuming. If you run a Holley 4150 Vacuum Secondary 750 and it fails, there is another one available at every auto parts store in America (well almost) and more importantly parts and people familiar with tuning them.
If the 4300D was a great carburetor in the first place like the old 4100's then I might differ in my opinion, but to my knowledge it wasn't anything special.
Yes Kurt of KP Carbs goes by the name of Carbontooters1 on ebay.I sent mine to Kurt at KP carbs. I understand he is a former employee of Pony (before the move) and is continuing to do that caliber of work. I didn't think it was too bad cost wise. He is finishing it up this week so I will be able to report more later on how it works.
