I am looking for a carb for my 53 Plymouth 218, I have looked at the information of what is compatable and it seems there are quite a few. My question is, is there a table or some info as to what are the differences in these carbs, I'm sure there are some minor  things that make the difference.  Any help?  Dave

D6H2 is the one you want. None of the above.

Please do assume that I simply know nothing and then you are getting close ? Would I be able to use the U1 for my purpose? Bearing in mind that I shall be using an overdrive in the end it could possibly make sense? What do you think? If I was to use it would I need to change anything? thanks

I would think so...

All that matters is good drive-ability... meaning good idle, tip in off idle, full acceleration and smooth cruising.. no surging.

Try it.

This all assuming the D6U1 is a real good clean carb.

Could I ask you another question? 

What would you say about a modernised set-up like weber 32/36? thanks

I don't do anything other than factory.
