early carb help
hey guys, sorry for this being a little off topic, but I know there's lots of smart people here, and I need some help.
ok, Im working on a 47 Plymouth, the carb is a carter "ball and ball" single barrel. first off, when I took the carb apart, I kept all the gaskets and "o" rings so I could match them up,damned if I have a little black rubber I cant remember where it came from. its flat on one side and tapered on the other, I spent a hour tonight looking, took the carb apart and back together, cant find where I got this from. any ideas ? Secondly, this carb has a "step up valve" it works off intake vacuum, you can see the vacum hole in the base in picture 209 well the intake doesn't have a vacuum hole, cant I just drill in to the intake, to get the required vacuum ? thanks guys, |

Re: early carb help
I have never seen one of those carbs previously----however, it appears as though the vacuum source, to the base, is provided by the gasket opening.
I wonder if the rubber seal is for a vacuum orifice at the parting lines of the components? |

Re: early carb help
Go to the Old Car Manual Project website. You should find a section on carburetors in the index. Quite certain a Carter Ball and Ball would be covered; the site has exploded views to look at.

Re: early carb help
thanks for the replies guys, I looked at the online manuals, still no luck finding the rubbed seal.
I even found this video on you tube, doesn't even show the rubber. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg19Cz2dWAI I'm just goanna drill the manifold to get the vacuum needed. |

That gasket looks like it allows for the vacuum source. I wouldn't drill any holes if it were my project. |

Re: early carb help
hey rotorwrench, yea your right, the gasket allows for the vacuum, damn but not much, I did put a small v notch in the manifold where the gasket notch is, not much, just big enofe to make me feel it would get sufficient vacuum.
I took it back apart one more time, just for grins, still couldn't find a spot for the rubber, I'm starting the engine tomorrow, guess Ill see what happens. Thanks for the help. |

Re: early carb help
it looks the right size to slide on a shaft like a spacer.... all I can think of.
