Flivverking Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Do a web search for vintage carb dealers and rebuilders etc. There are plenty Ask them. Research what were/was the actual carb model used on that model. Holley is only a start . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flivverking Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I just typed in 1973 International truck carburetor on my phone. It can up with all kinds of links to new carbs,rebuild carbs and kits for various models of 1973 IH. If I can do it...why can't you? I'm sure you will find something that fits your truck.( if you let YOUR fingers to some walking)😀 Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojh Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Try the 'Cornbinders' site, they might be able to help. that Holley for them was special, the idle circuit is quite different, the carbs look pretty much the same as any other Holley 2bbl to a lay person, I feel that the IH Holley is an improvement over the original Holley and well worth your time to find the right one. they are rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate any help Cheers Steve Hi Steve, thecarburetorshop.com has some good information that might help you pinpoint what you're looking for. THE CARBURETOR SHOP / TRUCK CARBURETOR REPAIR KITS I Applications Doesn't look like Jon has any kits for the 258 setup but you might try sending him a PM ( Private message) on this forum to see if he can suggest anything for a new carb (assuming you don't have a core?). He goes by carbking and he's extremely helpful and one hundred times more knowledgeable about carbs than any of us. PM Here: carbking - Antique Automobile Club of America - Discussion Forums (aaca.org) Once there, just click on the blue "message" tab and it will start a new message you can then send to him.

I'm sure he has tried a few searches which is why he's here... this carb isn't as easy as a quick search Edited March 7, 2021 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Yea, it may be easy saying 'this is the carb you need' but finding one is probably a different story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon (carbking) will probably correct me but if you dig a bit deeper the application for that carb on carburetorcenter fit the following:BUICK 1968-1971, 1973-1975CHECKER 1976CHEVROLET 1968-1976GMC 1970-1972 Also, if you notice the description on the carburetorcenter website it reads 1973-1974 International 6 Cyl. Holley 1940 Type Carburetor. I highlighted TYPE since it's not the same. Here is the carb I believe he's looking for (anyone, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) Here is the carb you posted a link to. It is close as you mentioned and yes, sure there are other options available but his post implies he's looking for the original carb so he can keep the truck as original as possible. Maybe a pre-assumption on my part,.. but maybe the OP'er will clarify that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbking Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Steve - welcome! We do not have a new Holley that fits your truck. Checking the Holley listings: R-6442-A (service carb was R-6442-1A) listed for 258 Federal applications. R-6775-A (service carb was R-6775-1A) listed for 258 California applications. I doubt that you will find either in new condition. Finding a rebuilt is as easy as using Google. (Opinion) stay away from the brand new, made somewhere, but not in the USA, replacement "carburetors???" one size fits all, works well on none! EDIT: got called to dinner before finishing. The Holley literature does not show any other carburetors fitting other than the above. Also, while this forum is a wonderful forum, with some really sharp folks, there is an I.H.C. specialty site OldIHC, where folks that specialize in I.H.C. reside. You might try there. Sorry my database is no more help. 1973 is right on the ragged edge of being too new for us. Jon.

carbking Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) One other item. One gentleman posted finding a rebuilt for 1973-1974. MAYBE it would work, I do not know, I do know that Holley lists different original carburetors AND different service carburetors for the 1973 and 1974. Personally, I would leave alone anything except the original or the original service carburetor listed in my post above. EDIT: here is the URL for OldIHC: IHC specialty website Jon.
