My aunt got back to me! It's 6-2146. I know there is probably some juicy info in those numbers

Nah. It's not a smogger I don't think. It has no electric bits to it. The only difference I can see between the one you sent, and mine, is the fuel inlet Location ( if that's the fuel inlet on the side, mine is on the rear.) And mine has a distributor ported vacuum port, and yours does not...

Oi! That carb looks a bit different than mine! There are only 2 ports on the "front" of the carb (idlemix screw side) vs 3. That carb may have been one before the ported vacuum for distributor. Will I have to Tee vacuum lines to make that work? Also. Is the fuel inlet on the side?! That's new...

Hmm. How would I go about performing a smoke:fool: test? I've seen this done on vehicles before. Blowing into a vacuum system seems bass ackwards to me as there are probably sensitive diaphragms in the brake booster system, and the choke pull off and throttle position pot. When I get there I...

I think that advice was for filling the radiator after a waterpump failure. I hope to not need water.. I prefer Dr. Pepper!

Hey! That's a good tip! Misting (distilled) water into the intake can also remove carbon deposits! Thank you! It's wonderful to be here!

All good information! The carb doesn't need to be a "Smog" carb. It doesn't have an OSAC, TIC, or ELB, or any of that fancy alphabet soup that was on other 1976 models. It had Heated Air Intake, PCV, EGR, EVAP Canister, And a CCEGR Valve that switches EGR open and closed. (From how I understand...

Oh dear lord! You have me in a full anxiety attack already. I'm glad I don't have to make this journey alone, I'll have my grandfather, who is a VERY experienced mechanic of 40+ years, But he's 80 now. His mind is still pretty sharp but some things he just doesn't know, as he's not had any...

An aluminum waterpump? Do you really think the waterpump will quit?! Oh no! I really don't want to have to change a pump on the side of the interstate!! It has 50K miles. What's 2K more?! My grandfather and I put in a fresh 5 quarts. but it's leaking some oil from the valve covers, so we are...

Not on this particular Mopar 440 - 4 BBL. The oil dipstick.. Hold your breath. You're gonna hiccup when you hear it... Was a steel, 1/4 or 5/16 I.D tube with a compression collar on it. with male threads that screwed into the side of the oil pan. When I found that it was leaking oil from a...

Thanks!! I see a LOT of friendly helpful people here!

Hi! Long time reader, First time poster. I've been reading on this forum. and others like it (A, D bodies) forums. ETC. (1)I have a Mopar 440 in a 21' Motorhome. It has a Thermo-Bog on top. It didn't run, Had no spark. and when I did get spark. it would leak fuel from the carb above the...
