I didnt find any general automotive forum on this broad so im posting here
seeing as most of the 1st gen ram have carburetors, mine has a one barrel.
Does anybody know of websites that contain info on them such as explanation, how to's, tuning, cleaning.etc

thanks

 

a one barrel? Does your truck have a slant six?

 

Buy a copy of the Factory Service Manual for your truck, they average about $40 on eBay and are worth every penny and then some. It goes into great detail on each model of carb.

Don't try to save a few bucks by buying a Haynes manual, the ones they put out now are a waste of paper and ink, spend the extra 20 bucks or so and get the official factory manual.

 

yup, 225 all the way


I do have the haynes repair book, i was just wondering if there websites about carbs that could help me understand them more

 

Sounds silly, but have you checked on wikipedia? I've found quite a bit of answers to questions about specific devices there, and gained enough understanding of various component purposes that I was able to repair myself.

 

Ill try that

thank you

 

Personally i'd swap it out and put a Rochester 2 barrell on it, super simple carbs and make lots of power, i run one on my stock car, plus there are some cheap carb adapters for it

 

Aftermarket intake + 4 barrel

you'd have to run like a Quadrajet 450, anything bigger would just be to much fuel dumping in the motor
