First Mopar

Welcome from another SE Pa guy

Whether you decide to go with synthetic or leather accelerator pump, be sure you are getting the correct length and diameter that your particular carb# calls for.

Thanks. I see the carb stamping is 4638 SA. I will do some research tonight and see if I can come up with the right kit.

I've bought from Mikes Carb.

Welcome from central Pennsylvania. For what it's worth, a couple years ago at the Chrysler Nationals, I had the good fortune of meeting Herb McCandless "Mr. Four Speed" while I was gawking at one of his cars. We got into a discussion about new parts versus old, and he turned out of be a fan of leather accelerator pumps for carb rebuilds. Found this interesting, as when I drove my Mopars as daily drivers five decades ago, I was bugged by leather plungers drying out. But Herb's take was that much of the modern synthetic stuff tends to come apart prematurely. Food for thought.

Great. Much appreciated!

The kits I used in both cases were “Mikes carburetor parts”.

Welcome aboard & welcome to the madness. What's the history of your car, does it have the Fender Tag or the build sheet?

Welcome aboard & welcome to the madness. What's the history of your car, does it have the Fender Tag or the build sheet?

It has both and the build sheet is in great condition. I have that stored in a protective folder in my office. The first thing I did once the car was on the trailer was remove the fender tag. This car doesn't have a whole lot of options but I know how some people like to steal these things. So I figured why not just remove it now and keep it in a safe place. Outside of that, I don't know much history about it other than it supposedly being stored in a barn for several years by the previous, previous owner.

Welcome aboard Sir, from the middle of the mitten. Nice looking car, just a little lower quarter repair work, no big deal.

Welcome from Lansdale, PA, just a few miles up the road from you!

I have a 1970 Road Runner that I restored, and there are many others here with great knowledge. You have come to the right place to fix up the 'ol bird!

Thanks! I did manage to grab one and the parts catalog too. I'm not having much luck locating parts using those numbers. Are the just few and far between or is that part number scheme just too old to use for researching? I know there is a Mopar parts catalog that goes for over $100. Could I expect anything different from that catalog??

I'm sure once I dig in I'll find some hidden gremlins. For now I'm just trying to fix/refurbish anything that's wrong mechanically and electrically and then eventually on to the body. I just completely overhauled the entire carb and it runs SOOO much better. Trans is suspect... Think I'll be taking that on at some point...that should be fun ;)

She was pretty nasty... Did some soda blasting for the first time. Came out pretty good and I'm totally satisfied. If only I knew about vapor blasting before hand. That's amazing stuff.
