Doc,

Both the A and K code 289's came with Autolite 4100's, with the A code rated at 480CFM and had 1.08" venturis. I believe the K code had 1.12" venturis, a manual choke, and were rated at a higher CFM.

When you ask about OEM (original equipment manufacturer) carbs, I think any of your listed carbs are OEM, although maybe not original for 1965 to 1966. Some of them also are service replacements.

The Autolite 4300 debuted - on Mustangs anyway - in 1968.
