Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted here...brings back memories. I'm getting back into my Mustang after a long layoff because I finally have free time (!) and hopefully a little money, so it's good to see some things never change (2bav8 still moderating, I saw a mustangdave post).
A friend of mine gave me a carburetor, that I believe he said came off a '69 351 (I can't remember if it was Windsor or Cleveland, I know he had one in his car and one lying around). It definitely looks exactly like the Autolite 4300 from the Pony Carbs page (apart from the missing choke cap or whatever you would call it), but I have also heard reference to the Motorcraft 4300, and there is no identification on it that I can see. Is it the same thing? I would ask my friend about it, but I have fallen out of contact with him.
Now, assuming this is the carburetor, is this carb too much for an otherwise stock 289 (I've got an Edelbrock Performer to go with it)?
