Thanks! I've also ordered new grounding straps.

Hello, everyone. I've had a fair bit of work done on the Monaco this year. I'm convinced my latest challenge is unrelated to any of it - which included most recently replacing the fuel line between the Carter carb and the fuel filter. So here's what's been happening. This is a 383 2 bbl...

Nevermind. Just found it. Nothing to see here.

Hi, everyone. Okay, this is a little silly I suppose. 1968 Dodge, 383 engine, no AC. Just had a lot of engine work done and I'd like to find a replacement for a long-missing clip. On the passenger side valve cover is a bracket upon which the heater hoses were designed to rest with a...

And the endgame: bad gasket, after 38 years. Four cracked studs during the repair. Replaced manifold anyway with a MagnaFluxed spare I'd been keeping. Also had bad rebuilt carb, on the car for just a couple of years. Accelerator pump went bad. Replaced all of that plus a tune-up. Purring...

Here's hoping. I can't quite imagine the manifold cracking. I'm just hoping that it's not major surgery to get any cracked studs out. Except for the end studs, I'm betting the other four are pretty well rusted. By the way, as I've never had this happen before, I'm assuming it's just noisy and...

Hello, everyone. My Monaco has been in the family since new, so I have a complete set of records - and I've been in charge of the car for many decades now. I'm hoping for some additional guidance before I bring this to a new mechanic that specializes in older vehicles like mine and less...

Many, many thanks. Just to be clear at my end... Fuel pump was replaced late last year; fuel filter at the same time. I get your suggestion to add a second fuel filter, before the pump. Are you suggesting that (a) the new fuel pump may have failed and (b), whether it did or not, to replace...

Apologies. 383. Carter 2bbl. Reason I'd replaced it in late '22 was that it was leaking and would stall on acceleration. I was told the ethanol in gasoline just takes its toll over time on older carbs. Remans are built to withstand the ethanol better, or so I was told.

Many thanks. That's one I'd identified online and was planning to visit. Have you/someone you know had experience with them?

Recommendations welcome.

One at a time... This vehicle has not seen a lot of action in around 5 years, since my sainted mechanic passed and the pandemic followed. In the last couple of years, through another fine mechanic, I've installed a new carb (23 years since the last) and fuel pump/filter (just last November...

Thanks, Ross. Just had a delightful conversation with their head of tech in Winnipeg. It's good to know there are still some very good companies out there.

For my future reference, anyone familiar with reman carbs by AutoLine Products Ltd. in Canada? Retail distribution in the US is via Rock Auto. Thanks.

Thought I'd update this group. Had a wonderful conversation this morning with Uremco's owner, who gave me a great education about the business, these reman carbs, etc. (All confirming the wisdom in this chat.) He even thought he recognized that 1998 reman part number I reported as being from...

Thank you!

Okay. Really last question for the night. (Maybe) Still looking at Uremco options. When I look at that Uremco replacement, I get different pictures depending on the site. The top photo is from their site - and this looks pretty much exactly as the Carter. The second photo is taken from an...

Thank you all. I'm getting closer to sorting out way(s) forward. I hope.

What if there's no stamp? Found that here - 15479B - https://www.stockwiseauto.com/walker-products-15479b-carburetor-repair-kit?fit_id=1166&Year=1968&Make=Dodge&Model=Monaco&gsID=pxf2624695f1166&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4py6oNP48wIV1N7ICh0tIwBPEAYYAyABEgJeAPD_BwE

One last question for tonight. Since the tab is no longer on the carb, how can I/he be absolutely sure about getting the right kit?
