Searching for the right 1BBL for a 66 dart 270

[gtaw]

I was wondering if someone could tell me the specific carburetor for this application.

Thanks,
Jim

My 64 has a Carter BBS. My 69 Dart had a Holley 1920. Don't know what year they switched. I think the BBS is more reliable since 1920's have a sealed metering block that most rebuilders don't touch and are often clogged. A lot of bad 1920's out there. I went thru 4 over 18 yrs until the last one made the engine run great. Later years had the Holley 1945, which some people swear by.

If you want best mileage, there was a Holley Economaster in late 70's. However, a slant really needs MPFI to get optimal distribution, but that is currently roll-your-own.

Not much interest or value in keeping a slant original, if that is your goal. Most people prefer upgrades.

Carter BBS or Holley 1920, both are in the manual.

Depending on whether you need a 'twist rod' or cable throttle linkage, you can find both carbs in both styles.

The biggest problem you will have is finding a good carb of either type, assuming you have nothing now. I have a bunch of cores, send me a PM and I might be able to help you come up with the right one.

Just an FYI. The Holley and carter carbs are two different sizes in the two brands. The 170 standard shift used a smaller barrel/venturi then the 170 auto and the 225 standard and auto. I would have to get the book out to give you the actual sizes.

My 270 66 dart /6 had a bbs singlebarrel with the twist rod actuator I'm looking for the carb (BAD) now to see if I can see some numbers

ok numbers look like 4098 or 4099 hard to tell really, and it is/was a 225 not a 170 or 198

but with that being said I don't know if it's ever been replaced with the incorrect one
