I've never been that far north in Missouri. Don't the Mormons believe the Garden of Eden was up there somewhere? I can say with conviction that as much as I love swampeast Missouri I'm certain the Garden of Eden was never here. The real question is, do you say MissouRee or MissouRuh? It's my litmus test for politicians, too. One of them says it wrong I vote for the other guy!! ?

That must've been a while back. That stuff all disappeared around here back when scrap prices were high. It's rare to see anything more than 20 years old. On the other hand I gave up on breaking even on this Mopar stuff. I'm just gonna keep it and let the kid worry about it when I croak. ?

I have one from George... works like a charm... topjob! grtz,

Rock Auto has a Carter pump, angled or straight. M2091 or M2090 are the numbers. $37 or $65

Why even use the "primitive" flathead then? Just throw a way better, more advanced 70s or 80s engine in it. Nothing wrong with the Carter carbs, half the fun of owning these old cars is fixing what is there.

Looks like a nice kit. I think I paid about the same and didn’t get the handy carrying case.

Rich, I believe the pilot bushing is 3/4" not one inch.

the correct carter b&b carb for 1949-50 Plymouth is a D6H1 carb so in you search look for this carb at any swap meets and the part that you are looking for should fit. Rich Hartung desoto1939@aol.com

too bad you don't have an intake for these...just got these dropped off at my place today, set of 40mm Weber DCOE's

Dan; Do you live close to this BUG SHOP? I had a good friend in the army named Allen Herbert Pottle who was into VW"s. I wonder if he is the one who founded this shop? The picture below is he and I in Vietnam.

Thanks to all the veterans for there sacrifices.

Thomba, have you thought about looking for some sort of carby from say an early 60's Mecedes, also I'd check around for any large Solex or similar, maybe even something from the UK such as Vauxhall, Bedford, Ford Transit, etc.......personally I would think the electric or automatic choke would be the least of my concerns as a manual choke should be easily setup using an after market choke cable, just mount it inconspicuously under the dash..........I'd make a list of what cars have been sold in Europe over the past 50yrs or so with a capacity of around 3-3.5 litres and go from there, irrespective whether they have a single or 2 barrel throat the find an adaptor to suit.......or just bite the bullet and get a rebuilt carby from the USA.................regards, andyd

Back in the 60's I drove my 50 Plymouth 150 miles out in the sandhills to work on a ranch out there. Got stranded in the boonies when the carb didnt get enough gas flow. The rubber hose right before the pump let go on the inside and plugged her down to a trickle. That was pre cell phones, no neighbors, sort of scary out there broke down. Dont recall where I got the new one but it ran ever since. My point is rubber hoses can LOOK good on outside and crap inside. Especially since ethanol was added to ALL gas as an oxegenator, but most people run the low mix of it because of the price difference. THIS also apply s to brake lines. IF you enter the line pressure such as changing calipers or wheel cylinders you Better change the hose ( S )

I went through two Airtex fuel pumps from Amazon....was suspicious they had been used because the boxes were dirty. Sure enough both leaked. Got a refund from Amazon and got a new one off Rock Auto thats worked fine the last couple of years (knock on wood).

whatever happened to the guy in Turkey??? that was selling ton of NOS parts presumably left over military stuff...seems he would be ideal place to order/purchase parts... second option...if you or a bud has some fabrications skill to fabricate an adapter, a Weber IDF deuce or even a copy/Dellareto(sp) may be a good option....

There you go, Ed. Brent and I are just expanding the meaning of the day. Maybe it should be "International Work On Your (or somebody's) Truck Day. ? Either way we're doing our part to keep old Dodge trucks on the road.

Hi Frank, Used two white LEDs that picked up at a car show. The bulbs had two contacts, however believe there was a problem with the bulbs. Directional signals worked and tail lights worked, however wouldn't work together. Put the regular bulb back in and works perfect. Going to get a couple more and try again, this time going to try red.

Franky...........just remember whats on the bottom of your legs........feet............lol............andyd

I guess if the UNC and UNF get to be too much for you you could sell the American car and buy an old Volvo or Saab ??. We Americans have had to get used to metric nuts and bolts as most vehicles are now either half and half ( ?) UNF/UNC /metric or all metric! Most part time mechanics here hate the metrics, we know nothing about figuring out the sizing either! ?. I have one box of metric nuts and bolts from various projects, but seldom have what I need for use_ _ _ Another trip to the hardware store to attempt to match or guess what I need and often buy a assortment of metrics and hope I guessed good!
