hydrive carb?

[p24-1953]

I am trying to find the correct style carb for my hydrive. it appears that mine had been replaced with a standard carb. Does anyone know what model number i should look for and where i should i start to look for one?

riley auto parts lists stromberg BXVD-3, carb #380357[3-123]. capt den

that appears to be the rebuild kit for the standard carb. I am looking for a whole unit for a fluid drive or hydrive car. it apparently has a mechinism that will help prevent the car from stalling out when stopping. (i currently have to run way rich to prevent this)

Thanks for the help.

it does list a carter d6h1 or d6h2 but neither of these are the proper carb for a hydrive. and i do have a hydrive manual, but it seems to have been misplaced.... but i am thinking it only discussed the transmission... crap where did i put that book.

The hydrive was a stock option, but the engine is slightly different and so is the carb. It has an additional dashpot on it that slowly feeds additional gas when the accelerator is released.

If you are not committed to original equipment, I put a holley 94 that came off an old ford with automatic on my fluid drive Dodge. The carb had the dashpot needed for the fluid drive. I'm also thinking some carbs off of a slant 6 with automatic will satisfy your needs. May take a little work to mount and get the linkage setup but it is anothere option.
