I have seen this carb at a local pick-a-part and on eBay.
It looks similar to a Holley 1945, but there is a cover on the top corner. Can anyone ID it?
My 1945 is dieseling and running rough, and I want to replace it with something else. Any thoughts?

Thanks Bill

My thoughts? Forget the 1945 and grab a Holley 1920.

That's a Holley 1945, circa 1977-1978-ish I think. If it's OEM and new, then it should be OK for a while... The Holley 1920 is a better design and simpler to work with, but if they've sat in a junkyard or on a shelf for a while they have a tendency to give up the ship also.

Thanks.

Would I have any trouble swapping out my original 1945 carb with this newer one?

Should be pretty easy, all your 'stock' connections (assuming that you still have your emissions equipment in place like charcoal cannister, etc...)...

It should all swap tit-for-tat (and you can leave the idle enrichment circuit plugged like you picture if you van's carb was not equipped for it).
