[squirrelcorker]

Hey, i know you guys have seen my "." thread. but this time i will get it right. My moper i have is a 1977 chrysler newyorker with a 440 with all original parts, which means those valve covers and gaskets are leaking like a sonofabitch. has rust-free body and surface rust on the frame. original paint and spare tire (suprised if it would hold air). it was bought as a transport vehicle for a local church and sat for i believe 7 years before my brother bought it. has a 4barrel intake but a 2 barrel delete.

a “2 barrel delete” is when there is a 4 barrel carb but the secondarys have been blocked off and the bowls were removed.

Interesting.

I see you are also from Virginia.
What kind of carb is this? Or was this? How do you remove the bowls from a carb?
Need pictures!
And the reason I am pushing the issue. Back in the mid or late 1970's, when gas prices had gotten high, there were people out there converting big block Mopars to run on 4 cylinders in an attempt to save gas. A local Auto Shop teacher from Roanoke I knew converted his 1970 Plymouth ex-cop fury. He converted the 440 to run on 4. It ran, but was a real slug. I don't know what he did internally with the pistons and valve train, but I remember he had a plate covering the secondary openings on the 4 bbl intake, and was running a 2 bbl carb. I'm pretty sure he later swapped another engine into the car.
If I recall correctly, this would have been around 1977 or so...
Any chance you wound up with a 4 cylinder 440?
