Tornado Carb Question

[GIJoe911]

Hello all,

I need to replace the carb on my truck. The throttle lever is rusted stuck and the choke plate is broken. I'm looking around, especially on ebay, and I see plenty of Holley 1920 carbs but they look slightly different and have different R numbers.

Will any standard 1920 work on our trucks (with a 230 engine) or do I need to be careful when ordering?

Thanks!

The Holley 1920 was used on many different vehicles. Specifically, Chrysler Corp. used them on their Slant Six engine. One way to immediately identify a Chrysler application is by the air cleaner attachment. It is a heavy wire that runs across the throat of the carburetor with a stud sticking out of the top for the air cleaner to be "wing nutted" to it. Our carburetors have the same casting with the ability to use that wire. But ours used a clamp. My truck came with a suspect carburetor and it never ran right. Also, the jets were different numbers than what our Jeep used. (another clue)

Maybe you might want to advertise in the wanted section of this forum. There may be one out there that someone is parting out.

I poke around in the basement tonight, I believe I have an extra. Would need a rebuild, but should be moving freely
