Carb needed for 39 Chrysler

[Robin (UK)]

Hi Guys,

I have a friend with an awesome 1939 Chrysler (UK built, Right Hand Drive) who needs a carburettor.

He's tried all sorts with the existing carb, but it's beyond repair.

The car runs but he experiences problems on a regular basis.

He needs a Stromberg AAV2 Aerolite as a direct replacement, or some way of converting to an alternative.

Can any of you help with supply of a carb, or parts, or advice on changeover options?

Any information would be much appreciated.

His car is a 5.3 litre straight 8.

He's not a member of the Forum because he doesn't live in the 21st century and he has no internet access.

All the best.

Robin.

Robin;

Give George Asche a call as he may be able to help. His number is in the links section of the main webpage supporting this forum.

And if George can't help out, I got mine from Moore's. Good outfit to deal with.

Robin, is that a dual throat carb???? If so he might consider up grading to the Carter Webber like Don C is working on. Is the chrysler a standard transmission car??
