Carburetor for Chrysler 1946 Town and Country

[Domi]

Hello

I restore a Chrysler convertible Town and Country 1946 8 cyl. My carburetor mounted on the T&C is not original it’s a Carter WCD 2122s for Pontiac 1947-54 8cyl, i don’t know if it’s adapted , grateful for your help. If I must change it, have you one adapted?

all the best

In 1946, Chrysler used both a Ball & Ball (manufactured by Carter for Chrysler) SINGLE barrel carburetor AND a Stromberg DOUBLE barrel carburetor.

 

Would need to know which intake manifold you have.

Hello

you will find attached pictures of the manifold, I think it’s a double barrel Stromberg

Which reference of AAVS2 is used for the T&C : 380165 (4-111) or 380169 (4-112)?

i spent 10 years looking for a stromberg AAVS2 for my 48 new yorker eventually gave up ,what i know exists is a 2 to 1 adapter for the carter carb.

[carbking]

4-111 has the square air horn; 4-112 has the round air horn.

 

So the carburetor varied as the air cleaner used.

 

I cannot tell you which would be correct for the T & C.

 

The Carter you have should bolt to the intake manifold without any adapter; but is internally too small for your engine.

I have a round air horn, so it would be the reference 4-112.

Thanks  a lot Jon for all these details
