Regular Posts: 62 Location: NY | Greetings again, I'm looking for info on the type carb on a 58 Firedome wagon with 330 hemi. I pulled the one on the motor off to have it rebuilt but there is no model number to be found on the carb. I guess there was a tag attached to the air horn but it's no longer there. I am trying to find a re-build kit but without the model number am having no luck. Any ideas? I could also just by another carb, just looking for input on where to find one, or a re-bulid kit. Thanks in advance. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9895 Location: Lower Mainland BC | Houston? We might have problem. A 330 hemi in a 58 Desoto does not compute (I think it should be a 361 non-hemi with the distributor at the front of the intake manifold, at least based on this:) Edited by 56D500boy 2019-03-08 3:09 PM (55-58DesotoModelDesignations.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 55-58DesotoModelDesignations.jpg (112KB - 138 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 1740 Location: Alaska | The last hemi used in Desotos in 57 was a 341 (non Adventurer) so a 330 is definitely not the original engine. If it is a 330 Desoto w/ 4 bbl. it would be a carter WCFB. | ||

I was wondering whether that was a typo (he meant hemi but typed semi) *OR* he meant semi as in semi-hemi = polyspherical = poly Regardless, by 1958 a 330 from the factory wasn't very likely as far as I understand. | ||

Regular Posts: 62 Location: NY | This is awesome. It's a 56 desoto with the 330 hemi. Guess I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue. | ||

So it was the "58" that was wrong not the 330 Firedome (hemi)? NYFDX - 2019-03-08 9:47 AM I'm looking for info on the type carb on a 58 Firedome wagon with 330 hemi. I guess we will have to cut you some slack. :P A 56 Firedome is an S23. An S23 used a 1637 361 carburetor, also known 2310S as shown below. Searching for Desoto carburetors with 2310S turns up this: http://www.carburetion.com/Kits/desoto.htm Which surprises me that the carb is a Carter BBD 2 bbl and the rebuild kit is a AF2032: http://www.carburetion.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?part=AF2032 Edited by 56D500boy 2019-03-10 8:34 PM (55-58DesotoCarburetorPNs.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 55-58DesotoCarburetorPNs.jpg (145KB - 136 downloads) | ||
