Good God, is there nobody in the area to rebuild it, or has a decent one to replace it? It's a ******* BBS, not a 2.6 Mikuni. If I were near I'd donate one of the ones I have if that one is F'd, or rebuild it for a decent $$.

No one has answered this clearly anywhere . Are the Holly 1920 and the carter 1bbl totally innerchangeable ? Also what carter number ? I have 71 duster has a carter on it and my friend has a 71 duster with a Holly on it . Are they swap-able ? Do they hook the linkage the same ? I can’t tell from pics

Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable can chime-in, but a #1945 Holley would have been the correct 1 BBL carb for the 1975-76 /6 setup. I had the OEM 1945 installed when I got my ‘75 Dart Sport /6. It was stalling when decelerating after highway driving. I swapped it out with the later “Economaster” 80’s version of the Holley 1945 and my car had never been more responsive. It was a night and day difference to daily driving.

I recommend a Economaster version of the Holley 1945 (if, you’re considering trying a Holley over Carter).

Second picture choke dots match. Possible glitches choke clip there are two them left and right. I have both do not rember, use to swap the 1920 and 1945 holley and carter bbs all the time on later manifolds. Choke pocket issue around 1973, never seen it. Hole in manifold for pcv valve early manifold might need base gasket notch.

(leaking fuel around bowl) Leaking around gasket at top of bowl, fuel level too high,or needle and seat gasket loose. Or is the bowl cracked. First two very easy to fix. Please explain. The fuel line between fuel filter and carb probably has internal rust. A flake of rust could break away and get lodged in the needle and seat preventing proper sealing, thus high fuel level and weeping at gasket line.
