i have a dodge ram w150 that i am working on as a project right now. i want to have it painted but before i make an investment like that i want to figure something out. when i got it it had a log book of the gas mileage that it was getting and it was in the 19-22 mpg range. i had the carb replaced because it had been sitting for a while and one of my dad's friends thinks he put the wrong year carb on. i think the carb is ment for an '86 and i was wondering if that could be the problem because right now it is getting 9-12 mpg. and if someone knows of a place i could order a new one i would greatly appricate it.

Don't think the year model for the carb would matter. Sounds like the carb that was put on could use some adjusting though.

Here is a link where you may find one for the 85 if you want.......

i had it adjusted to run more lean but it still didnt pass smog. i found the original carb the other day and the box its in says that it is rebuilt so i'll put that on and see how she runs.
