Go to a wrecking yard and get any 2 barrel carb off of a Fifth Avenue, Diplomat or even a truck or van. My 86 Fifth Ave has a Holley 2280 on it. Never had a problem with it. My 87 Dodge truck also has the exact same carb too. I dont know about in the US but here in Canada we did'nt have the feedback carb untill 88 or 89. Dont use a feedback carb! (one with a bunch of wires on it). Also i beleive a Carter BBD would work, get one from a Dart or Valiant or maybe a truck.
Hope this helps Nick

Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 23:32:00 -0700If somebody could give me a hand and direct me to what type of carburetor I will need for my '81, since I am going to replace the cheap one that was installed very poorly. I don't even know how carburetors are measured as far as whether or not they will fit my manifold.A bit of expertise on the subject would be great, what is of important when looking for a carburetor, and I think a standard 2- barrel Holley should be perfectly fine. I just don't know for certain what fits, and what doesn't. I was told that I could probably find something that's exactly what I need for my specific engine, that would be a simple bolt on, and I'm done, that's pretty much what I want. I want to try the carb replacement myself. I'll look through my shop manuals in a bit. Would the carb I need be the same one that they used on carbureted cars with 318's? For example, the New Yorker? I think i could find the part number for that easily.Thanks! ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com -----------------This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
