318 Carter BBD 2bbl Replacement Question

Hi 70dust. I have since sold the car, but here's what I can tell you. When I 1st put it on, I was having hard starting trouble with it. I took the car to a carb shop and they found the accelerator pump to be damaged - the rubber piece on the end was folded over apparently when assembled. They replaced it, and it then started fine. Performance of the new carb vs. original carb was outstanding. I've never driven a 318 with as much pep as this car. Well worth the money for the carb, including the cost of the repair too. The carb is almost exactly like the original factory 2bbl. I was not able to find any info on the manufacturer, and the assembly quality may be a bit suspect, based on my experience. Good luck!

Thanks for the information, scamp. I went ahead and bought the carb from ebay. Car seems to run ok except for a bog after initial acceleration from a stop, when cold. Also, idle seems excessively low after a hot start. I need to play with the timing a little and see if that helps. Manufacturer of the carb was stated as "rally" which apparently is an offshore manufacturer. Thanks again.
