Carl-Gustav Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hi guys! I've tried to find the answer to my question with no succes ? I know that at least one of you must be able to identify wich carburetor I have in my New Yorker 47. I'm buying a restoration kit but need to know wich one first ? So, it's a Chrysler New Yorker 47, 8 cyl. Se attached pics and hope someone knows something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 no hands on this model but per my manual here at the house on the L8 Chrysler of this year....the carb is spec'ed at being a Stromberg AAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl-Gustav Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Cool, thx for the quick reply. Let's see if I get more that says the same ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 actually you could verify this by removing the air cleaner and looking at numbers on your carb...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl-Gustav Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Oh, hmm, I'll do that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 It might also have a small brass tag attached with a stamped in ID number. Usually where the top piece is screwed unto the float bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl-Gustav Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I'll look into that. The only tags I've found so far are these... But they are in really bad shape.... Or just extremely dirty ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Your carburetor should be a Carter 1 BBL model E7A1. This is stamped into the carb air horn top. Angle portion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl-Gustav Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hmmm....so, Stromberg or Carter... Back to starting position ??... I'll look att the top in a little while then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Dodgeb4ya Posted July 7, 2021 Solution Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Only the 1946 TO early 47 Chrysler NewYorker eights used the Stromberg 2BBL carburetor directly mounted to the 2BBL intake manifold. Your late 1947 Carter 1 BBL carburetor is mounted on the factory installed two to one BBL adapter bolted to the correct 2 BBL intake manifold. This was a late 1947 Chrysler eight cylinder engineering change .....eliminating the 2BBL Stromberg going to the 1 BBL Carter carburetor. In 1949 Chrysler re-designed the "8" cylinder intake to a 1 BBL eliminating the two to one carb adapter. The Carter 1BBL now bolted directly to the 1 BBL intake. There is your Chrysler "8" lesson for the week!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look att the top in a little while then ? my apologies.....my reference book was wrong and seems to have been for 8 years after that running change was made with no correction.....I have done a pen and ink change to my reference manual to reflect the correct carb listing.

Carl-Gustav Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 So you see why it's so confusing? ? Thank you so much for the help. Now, I'll try to find a kit for it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 OK this questions for anybody who knows carter's. Not to Hi jack the thread but I have noticed that on many Carter Carbs like these some of them have the small squares on the triangular fin punched out indifferent patterns. Some have no punches, some have 1 punched but some are in the first spot some in the middle, some have two opened up also in differing patterns, and some have them all opened up. Does this signify anything like maybe main jet size or other significant info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
