Matthew Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 So, my carburetor just exploded and I am just looking to buy a new one or remanufactured one. Does anyone know where I could buy one or maybe a rebuild kid or remanufactured one. If I can't Id like to put a converter plate on it and make it into a double barrel. Any help or advice would be appreciated! thanks. PS. the carburetor markings are Mfd. by carter carburetor corp. Ball and ball carburetor mfd. for chrysler corp
NiftyFifty Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Langdons Stovebolt can get you an Empi 32/36 two barrel carb and adapter to fit the stock intake, and one I think that will work with the stock linkage parts. I'm heading in the two barrel direction myself, but not till late this summer/fall once I have a place to build an intake
JBNeal Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I have gotten a few spares cheap on eBay, rebuilt a couple and they ran fine...make sure they aren't rusted stuck...adapting to a 2 bbl might require a new throttle linkage...choose widely
Dodgeb4ya Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 What exploded on the carb? Sounds kinda scary....your'e lucky a big fire didn't happen!
Matthew Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 Would I have to build a new intake if I was to put a 2 barrel carb on that hooked up to the stock linkage? I had just cleaned it with carb cleaner and was very careful not to disturb any of the parts, because this is the first carb I have dealt with. When I put the carb back on and started the truck it popped really loud and started dumping fuel out of the carb. The truck eventually died and now I'm stuck trying to figure out what to do next. To be honest this is my first rebuild and my mechanic skills are mediocre at best. I really want to do this truck justice by doing it right, but I just don't know where to go from here.
NiftyFifty Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 No intake change to go to the two barrel that Langdon sells, just a bolt on adapter. the carb you have is a fairly simple rebuild, and parts are available. You will just need the brand and numbers off it for a correct kit. Sounds like your float is stuck and keeping the needle open, or the seat is toast.
