Location: Woodland CA		I have a 361 in my 1958 Custom Royal, and I wonder if I have the right carb. in it.It seems like it runs lean.The # on it reads 2729S on it. If anyone ca tell me if it is the right one for that motor !

Location: NW Saskatchewan Canada		Is your carb a 1,2,or 4 barrel ? My book says that 2729S is a single barrel universal carb. Carb on a 58 Dodge with 361 and automatic trans should be 2642S 4 barrel

Location: Woodland CA		Yes, my carb. is a 4 barrel and it is stamped Am2729S. And that # comes up as a 2 barrel for a 4 cyl tractor in the book.
Thank you for the info, for the right #
