Thanks for the information on the carbs, but the proverbial fly in the ointment is that on the carter carbs the throttle shaft is oriented paralell to the cylinder head requiring a bell crank throttle linkage as opposed to the stromberg unit that has a throttle plate that is at right angles to the cylinder head. now i can create a adapter plate to rotate the carb 90 degrees, but as i recall it has a different air cleaner mount, creating a whole new set of replacement part needs. if this was my personal vehicle all of this would not be a problem but this is a customers car, and i would like to turn in a professional looking job. the another thing i was hoping to avoid was buying another expensive part, because his bill is getting up there already.
Thanks again
Mark S.
P.S. there is an image of what i believe is the right carb on ebay under "dodge carburetor"--"vintage parts"--39 40 41 dodge stromberg carb
