Standing Elk Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I need to put a kit in the carb. on my 49 B1 with a 230. All I can find on the card is Ball & Ball Mfd. for Chrysler Corp. and on the other side there is a 0404 with a 6 beneith it. Does anybody have any insight on what I have and how to go about asking for the right kit? Thanks S.E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy49 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Stock 230 or was stock a 218? If it is the stock set-up that should be all the info they need. If it is a later engine and the carb came with, give them that info. Example, currently my 49 B1B-108 has a 48 P-15 218 engine block/guts but everything else is stock truck parts. So I'd order a kit for a 49 truck. The replacement 230 is out of a 56 Plymouth Savoy, stone stock, so I'd order a Savoy carb kit. Take the carb in with you so the parts guy is at fault if you get the wrong kit. Took me a couple tries to get the right one last time I had mine running (17 years ago).

PatS.... Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 This kit should be available at any competent parts store which carries Hygrade or Standard Motor Products. For all B&B Carbs This kit is around $20 here now. My local store has it in the warehouse, 2 hour delivery to the store. New, not nos.
