MarcDeSoto Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) A seller on the DeSoto club site says his E7L4 Carter B&B carb. fits all 6 cylinder cars with a semi auto trans, from 1948 -1954. Would for example an E7L4 carburetor fit on my 48 DeSoto and vice versa? I think an E7L4 carb. is for a 1950 Chrysler six.

Frank Gooz Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Marc i think some will interchange and I say that based on the wiring. I will try this come summer on my 1950 Dodge, I will in stall the carburetor off my 1948 Desoto. A Stromberg v/s a Carter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcDeSoto Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I think it's your Dodge that has a Stromberg. I think Dodge was the only MoPar that used Strombergs as well as Carter B&B's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normanpitkin Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Chrysler New Yorkers in 46 had Stromberg AAV S2 carb ,until the accounts department discovered there was a cheaper alternative! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcDeSoto Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I forgot about that. Those STrombergs for the Chrysler straight eights are works of art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Gooz Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Sorry Marc I was referring to the fact that if any of the cars with a semi automatic/ fluid drive that are wired the same way, The carburetors mat be a useable replacement in a pinch.

Looks like a good book to have in ones library. What years does it cover? How many different cars? I can make out most of the cars listed in the image.

Dodgeb4ya Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 That is a Carter Carburetor Parts and Service book. This one covers from 1933 to 1953. Most all cars and trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
