I've got a 70 T/A Challenger with a original 340/6pack, I rarely drive it anymore , but I fired it up the other day and noticed the accelerator pump is leaking pretty bad! So it looks like I will pull the carbs ,anyway I need to know what size diaphragm it has ! E-bay has both 50 cc and 30 cc, anybody know which one I need? Thanks!

Cab is the man! (& for your app I wouldn't think you'd need the extra squirt from 50CC's)

center carb came with 30cc pump. may not be the pump but a poor seal between the metering block and carb body due to warpage. been thru it! is it gonna warp after 20 years? I built the car in 1992 and have never had a problem, just recently ,it's been a year since I last ran it and the leak developed!

I know I've chased accelerator pump leaks only to find the weeping was between the metering block and carb body.
