The carb on my 68 Dart (225, A/T, 1bbl., 4dr)is shot. Its not the original carb, it is a /6 truck carb (1bbl Carter). Does anyone know what carb (Carter or Holley) came on it originally? Also, where is the best place to get a new carb?? I've heard some of the rebuilt carbs are junk. usclstaffingnet@sprintmail.com |

I have had good luck just grabbing carbs from the junkyard and doing a quality rebuild on them myself. the Holley 1920 was the standard base slant six carb from the early sixties until around 73, however, 66 and earlier carbs will have a rod style throttle linkage instead of the cable style on your dart. I would get a Holley 1920 off of and 225 I saw in the junkyard, but avoid the ones found on 170s since they have a lower flow rating. Also, when you are doing the rebuild replace the main metering jet with a #63. It will help eliminate poor idle and off idle bog. If you end up buying a remanufactured carb I recommend NAPA. They use Tommy Tomco rebuilt carbs. If you go this route be prepared to rest all the adjustments on the carb and definitely replace the main metering jet. Reed reed@seanet.com |
