1973 318 2 barrel Carb

I purchased a 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger project car with a 318. The man who sold it told me first that someone had placed a 360 air cleaner on this car. Once I towed the car home, in checking I noted that the carb is a Holley model 2210 2 barrel. I think he might have lied to me as this carb is not bolted down and is not the correct model for the year and make of car.

The car should have a Holley model 2280 according to the books. Does anyone have any experience with this carb on the year/model of Dart with a 318? Or should I just rebuild the 2210 or locate the required 2280. I am not looking to increase the fuel consumption at first, that will come later on with an intake manifold change.

the carb should be a BBD carter or simular holley..

if it was mie i would use the carter carb..

im not sure of the numbers you posted, you said it had a 360 air cleaner on it. now if the 360 AC fit the carb you have now, then someone swaped 360 intake and carb and replaced the 318 carb and intake..
the 318s airhorn is smaller in dia then the 360, they dont even look alike.

go to adanced autos website and look at models with the 318 and the 360.. try different yrs ect..

post pics if you have them..
