Onderwerp: [FWDLK] Carter carb ID
I have a couple of
Carter 4 bbl carbs I'd like to know their specific applications please.
First I took off a junkyard '56 Plymouth, is a 2302 S, under that number on the
aluminum tag is L5 and under that is 3. Second carb I was told came off a
'55 DeSoto, tag number 2590 S, with the smaller numbers of B7 and under
that a 4. What do the little bitty numbers on the Carter tags mean?
Is it a build date maybe?
Also, I know this
subject has been covered before, but I have a severely stuck 301 now soaking in
Marvel Mystery Oil. If this doesn't unstick it what are some *unusual* or
unorthodox methods of unsticking it before it earns the nickname BA (boat
anchor)?
