Hi guys, it's been a while since I've been here, but I have a problem that I can't figure out. The time has come to stop ignoring what my carb (fig 1) has been telling me, and either get it rebuilt or replaced. The problem is that I don't know what it is. The ID tag reads 4297S J6, but everything that comes back is what you see in (fig 2). As you can see, they are not the same. I have found a couple on ebay (example), but none state the model numbers, nor have ID tags. Some friends and I have almost come to the conclusion that this is not the factory carb, but off of a later model maybe. My car is a 66 Chrysler Newport 383 for those that don't remember. Can someone ID my carb, or recommend me a similar replacement? (Fig 1) (Fig 2)
Found this on a quick search. Might help. I use google images to search with. http://www.mymopar.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2550&mode=threaded&pid=4161 And here's a link to a rebuild kit. http://www.carbkitsource.com/carbs/kits/CK072.htm
Not really sure about what you are looking for??? The Carter 4297s is the large model BBD (in your first picture). The second picture shows the smaller sized model BBD. The J6 is the date produced (either October or November - some years the I was used, some years it wasn't) of 1966 for 1967 model MoPars. And if you are looking for a major rebuilding kit, we can provide one. 573-392-7378 (9-4 Mon-Wed central time). If you purchase a kit elsewhere, use the 4297s, NOT application or model type. Jon.
OK, so the one in the first picture is indeed a 4297s? Because when I googled that, everything that came up for a 4297s was the carb in the second pic.
I have rebuilt lots of those carbs (#1) and they are indeed factory on 383's and even some later model 400's. The carb (#2) is for the 318 and 273 V8's. Be sure to chekc the thorttle shafts on that carb. They don't idle right if they are loose.
Both are called model BBD "BB" - Ball & Ball "D" - Duplex (or two barrel) There are just 2 different physical sizes. Jon.
Figure 1 is a Holley carb.....might be a later one than 1966...I had the same carb in a 1976 Chrysler Newport....yes it was a factory carb.
It's similar to the Holley, but it's not. The Holley is more square looking. The 1-1/2" BBD carb is what's in the first picture. There is detailed info about these carbs in the old Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth service manuals. I have 66 and 68 books, but not 67, and this is a 1967 carb.
The best thing about the internet is: anyone can post! The worst thing about the internet is: anyone can post! Not everything Google finds is gospel. Jon.
