Okay, first I'll get past the reason why I'm working on a '73 Dodge van... It's a Kary Van (10ft box van) and my daughter has decided she has to have a van conversion camper. That's the latest thing I guess. Father daughter project! BTW, my daughter is 30 so she's thinking all of this through fairly well with the help of me being the reason and logic side of things.
So, it has a 318ci motor that was missing the carb, ignition wires and the distributor wires had been cut. I borrowed a carb, found some wires and rigged the dist and ignition switch (don't have a key) and was able to get the motor to fire! Next I checked compression and was amazed at 140-150 across all eight cylinders. After learning this about the motor we decided to move forward with the project.
My question is, I need to source a 2-barrel carb and wanted to know if there's any particular favorite out there for these motors?
