I am trying to find a problem on my 1950 Dodge Coronet, With a gyro-matic transmission. Just like the last time i had trouble was running great then it died three or four times before I got back home. Last time I found a lot of little things wrong. Now I am not sure When I got home the Yellow wire on the from the carb to tranny had come off. I put it back on and the same thing. Dies at the shift point after letting off the then a soon as you touch the pedal Blah Blah dies but starts up sort of easy. I am thinking that it mite be the Dashpot? Dodge calls it a dashpot, The Desoto/Chrysler calls it a anti-stall. Are these the same thing?

I got my 53 Cranbrook running the other day after two years of working on it, and it did great for like 20 minutes before stalling. I figured I had not got all the old gas out of the tank and that it got cranky with me, which is exactly what happened. Figured that after flushing the entire fuel system, I might as well rebuild the carb too, as it didn't look like it had been touched in years. When I bought the car, the PO had sold me a bunch of parts, including a new carb that looked identical on the outside to the one that was on the car, but seemed in much better shape. Almost brand new! they are both Carter B&B carbs with the correct type I dashpot. But inside, the well that the dashpot plunger sits in in different between the two models. I have no problem cleaning the one I took off as best as I can and putting it back in if I need to, but does anyone know which one is the correct on for the car? Or if I can just use either one on the car? The PO already did a couple wacky things to the car to make it run and throwing on a random carb he found wouldn't have surprised me in the least. Also, if anyone has any idea where to get the correct dashpot plunger I would be much obliged. The one I ordered doesn't match the one I took out of both or the ones from the manuals and is missing the check ball and vent hole through the center of the plunger. And the ones I have, the leather is all worn out on. New one is on the left.
