The one on it does not even have threads for the air cleaner stud. Van has cruise. The vin is....B21BF8X122503 I would like to buy a correct reman but don't have a number. Any help would be appreciated.

The carb that was put on the van is obviously not right.... The one I need has a threaded carb stud hole, a vacuum pod for the choke, and a plug for some wire.

Without looking in the parts catalog I can easily see several different part numbers. The real difference between all of them maybe nothing more than a jet/needle size and some adjustment settings but back in the day all of those little things made each carb p/n unique to its application. 78 2bbl 318 would have most likely had a carter BBD.

Any help would be appreciated. make sure on the engine size, by the VIN, the van is a 360, or at least what it left the factory with. If it is a 360, then it would be a holley....if it is a 318, then it would be a carter BBD or holey replacement carb.... good luck...

They said it was a 360 built in Missouri with federal emissions, and a 6-10,000 GVW and it came with a holley 2BBl. he gave me factory 2 carb #s to choose from... R8925A and R9816A. I crawled under the van and had a look at the block #s and it still is the original 360. so I went to my local bumper to bumper and they said I now had two choices, and only one is available... lol .... United reman # 6-6264.... It will be in later today, and I can take a look.... It should be way closer than what's on there... 7859157-StreetVan1.jpg (28 downloads)
