Home Is there a source for a new rebuild kit for the carb?
Mine has been dry for long enough that the gas has turned to varnish in the fuel tank (have not pull the carb apart yet).
I have a NOS rebuild for the fuel pump, not sure if it is worth the hassle of 30+ year old parts?
Carb rebuild kit?

The local Napa told me that number was no good, they couldn't even cross the ETW-1. He told me the number should be an EBT-x or something like that...
I called another place, they found a B&B listed for the 1953 dodge, I assume a B&B is a B&B? They didn't show any ETW-1 specifically, just the B&B. For $20, I'll see if it works.

Called and ordered! Thanks Tom!
Sounds like your NAPA guy was one of the young idiots who only knoow how to find what's in the computer. I took your question to the "old guy" at my local NAPA store and he had no trouble finding the kit in the books. I recommend that anyone who gets a "there's no such part" response from his NAPA dealer (or other parts store, for that matter) insists on having the guy "look in the book." Not all parts get put on the computer data base...only the most common ones get listed there!steved wrote:The local Napa told me that number was no good, they couldn't even cross the ETW-1.

I got my kit from vintage powerwagons. It was great and had all of the parts you need. As for the fuel pump they told me that the nos kits would end up leaking gas into your oil. So I got one of their rebuilt pumps since they had no kit to sell. What a pice os s*^t it was. I found a 24 volt pump and installed that. it was one of the best things I did to that engine short of the electronic ignition.

I cheated and left it there so I could use the vacum. Also so I would not have to make a block off plate. I used a facet pump found it searching for "24 volt fuel pump". It was an easy install. The wireing is simple I used a 10 amp fuse cause it is required and also a relay. It is on the inside frame rail just behind the drivers seat. For the fittings to change over to 5/16 line I went to my local hydraulic shop. Most people use rubber line but it was nice using change over fittings from standard pipi thread to npt. It also has an internal prefilter which is an added bonus.
