Re: [FWDLK] Carter carb ID

Hi Mark,

 

You can try 'pulsing' 24V on the starter along with the persuasion of a 48-72 inch breaker bar, they will break loose a little at a time, but you have to get a little movement first, then keep rocking it back and forth.  Watch out the batteries, cables & starter don't get too hot and watch out for sparks around them, it's worked for me!

 

Have fun,

 

Bob

Subject: [FWDLK] Carter carb ID

I have a couple of Carter 4 bbl carbs I'd like to know their specific applications please.  First I took off a junkyard '56 Plymouth, is a 2302 S, under that number on the aluminum tag is L5 and under that is 3.  Second carb I was told came off a '55 DeSoto, tag number 2590 S, with the smaller numbers of  B7 and under that a 4.  What do the little bitty numbers on the Carter tags mean?  Is it a build date maybe?

 

Also, I know this subject has been covered before, but I have a severely stuck 301 now soaking in Marvel Mystery Oil.  If this doesn't unstick it what are some *unusual* or unorthodox methods of unsticking it before it earns the nickname BA (boat anchor)?
