Thanks. Looks like ther are a few possible carbs that could be on that motor, so I'll need to take a closer look at it.

No problem, glad to help!  FYI - The Carburetor Doctor is in Stony Plain, Alberta. His name is Rusty Petrovic - I have never dealt with him personally but I have talked to him and he seems like an alright guy (he usually rents a table at Powerama and the Red Deer swap meet). He might be worth a try...good luck.

You have a Carter BBD. BBD stands for Ball & Ball Dual. It the 2bbl version of the 1 bbl BBS, Ball & Ball Single.
First thing to check is the throtle shafts. Check to see the are tight. It's a waste of $ to put a kit in a BBD that has worn throttle shafts. Three solutions for a worn BBD, find a good core, have your throttle shaft bushed, buy a rebuilt.
The GP Sorensen part number for a BBD is in my first reply above.

Here is the GP Sorenson kit 76-129-C
I have rebuilt a couple of these. I have a '65 model on my slant in my Duster right now.
Never found one without a worn shaft. Most rebuilt ones don't get bushed.
I think you can get a bronze bushing to bush it at Lowe's.
This kit number was for a '65. Probably the same!
Neat little carbs!

The 76-129, instead of a 96-578, may be a better kit for an early BBD. The early BBD had most of the accelerator pump linkage on the outside, latter BBD had most of it internal.
I have to check at least 6 used carbs to find a core with a tight throttle shaft. Throttle shaft kits were available at one time for carbs, they seem to have gone the way of the carb, extinct. Kits came with new screws, a reamer and bushings.
If it has sat dry for a long time, the jets may be hard to remove, spray them with a good penetrating oil (Kroil, JB Blaster, etc, not WD40) and let it sit for a day.
If you need a core, they are out there, BBDs were made up into the early '80s.
If you want a new carb, NOS BBDs seem to be easier to find than any other Mopar carb and usually can be bought for not much more than a rebuilt.

There is 3 types of BBD's in the 1 1.4" version. I am aware of. 65 still had the band that held the air cleaner on. It was the last year for that and the first year for the PCV fitting. '66 had a wire with a stud to attach the air cleaner. They were pretty similar 'til 68-69 when they got the vent fitting at the accelerator pump rod. (I maybe incorect on this date) These were air metered carbs. The later ones with the "tin tops" were solid fuel. Not much interchanges with the older ones. These have adjustable metering rods. 2 different Mopar versions. The 318 model and the super six.
We won't discuss the 1 1/2" big block BBD's.
