Pedr,

From what I can figure out from my parts manuals the standard on the Dodge was the Zenith carb. It is a bulbous round thing compared to the square Carter. Supposed to be non-flooding on hills.

I think your aircleaner is non-standard. If you had the standard one it is not so wide and clears the firewall easily. The photo in the parts manual shows a cleaner with no mesh on the sides. If your cleaner is a later standard possibly the use of your present carb with the Zenith air intake pipes pushes it further back to foul the firewall.

I have a Stromberg fitted to my WC-53 Carryall off a Bedford. Runs really well. I have seen a few Dodges with Holden carbs fitted and they also run well with more response and better fuel economy than the originals.

I would be checking the accelerator pump and galleries on your carb.

Lang
