Just an interested bystander here but I always understood the MV suffix was specified to include a larger carb as it was destined for L72 conversion although not all MV suffix cars got one?.
Searching online results in threads noting #3925519 carb specified for the 9737 option instead of the production #3959164 DZ carburetor?.

I heard the same thing. In my research everyone told me that they couldn't verify the larger carb being used on a car, so I should go with the crowd and not cause questions. I went with the DZ. It seems that if cost was an issue to the dealer, and it usually is, they would just reuse the carb from the L78. Also I think just the 9561 copo was available in 68 the 9737 was with a factory installed 427?? What do I know, I was 8 at the time.

Dana, has the resto been completed on your car? Any current pics? I remember reading the post of when it was found out in the desert... curious to see how it's progressing!

Thanks for asking. I have collected just about all of the parts I could find. I am doing another car now and then it is next. I can't wait to see it on the road. I will post pics and update here.
