Carb options for 48 B-1-C?

[Worden18]

I need to listen to my intuition more. It tells me to yank off that Ball&Ball and do something else.  Especially tonight after I had a nasty carb fire.  Luckily nothing burned up.  

The PO did rebuild it, not sure what went wrong.  I don't think I did any better of a job rebuilding the one on my B1D as it has problems too.

So.... suggestions please on a replacement.  I'm all ears. 

I guess I'm unsure about the 32/36 like I put on my Meadowbrook, mainly because of linkage differences.  I suppose I'll call Landon's on Monday.  Anyone running a 32/36 on their truck?

My trucks still have their carter's so I can't help with that side of it. However I'd be willing to take a look at your carter if you want to try and retain it.

I just purchased 2 Daytona UN2 carbs, they look like copies of the Carter B&B.They feature an externally adjustable main jet. Haven’t run them yet. https://daytonaparts.com/m/replacement_carburetor_chevy.html

I am really interested in your experience with these once you get them in. Both my 49 and 52 Carters run/ran rich and the externally adjustable main is very appealing.

I am in the process of pulling my old motor and putting a new rebuilt motor in, so it will be a few weeks before I get things sorted out and report on the results.

Any status on how the UN2 carb worked out? I'm looking at going this route in the future for a dual intake setup.

I didn't see a price on their web site? Are they expensive?

I found them on a different site for $339.

I have a 32/36 on my 1940 Dodge Truck. I purchased the kit from Langdon's. I used the supplied ball joint & rod. Purchased a 3 piece ball joint set (mr gasket brand I believe) and threaded the other end. I reused the stamped steel linkage that bolts to the manifold and cut, threaded, and installed the 3rd ball joint to the long rod. I believe it was 1/4 and 22 SAE thread.

My throttle linkage is now 100% rod and ball joints. The old bent rods with cotter pins had wallowed out their holes and made the linkage sloppy. I can post a pic when I get a chance.

My Carter throttle body really leaked air and ran rich.
