Hi. I have this Carter carburetor. Can anyone help with year ID? Is there any year using this accelerating pump connection or is it some mechanics' home invention? Thanks. ![[Linked Image from imageshack.us]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/9o08.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imageshack.us]](http://imageshack.us/a/img42/9030/9l46.jpg)

Looks kinda professional. I suspect they lost the correct link and had to improvise.

The link is correct for 1941 and later carburetors

The accelerator pump connection is correct. The earlier Carter W1 carburetors used a link for the connection and the later Carter W1 carburetors used a coil spring as shown in your photo for the connection. By the way, with the letter "C" embossed on the housing your carburetor was made by Chevrolet in their Bay City plant.

Ray, If you haven't already done so, this might be a golden opportunity to educate all the rest of us on how to tell the right carburetor for each year of car.  The accelerator rod, the little brass piece that is attached to the bowl, the forty five degree angle of the barrel in the throat, the casting numbers, the "C" that JD mentioned, etc. When I see a carburetor on a car, I don't have much of a clue as to whether it is the right one or not.  Maybe you can take us to school on the subject. I know that, for one, I sure could use and I'll bet a heap of others could too. Thanks, Charlie

That would be a 1946-1948 carburetor. Those years used the spring link for the accelerator pump rather than the solid link. The thinking behind it was the spring prevented bending the exterior rod should the accelerator pump jet get plugged-up. Many of the springs were replaced the the sraight link because the spring often caused a hesitation on acceleration. We sold tons of the straight links for that reason. The bending of the exterior rod would throw of the syncronization of the metering rod.

I do have some other ones  but it wasn't very expensive and seemed a good opportunity to complete (or start, whatever) my Carter carburetor instruction by taking it apart :)
