Default Carter Carb

Hey Guys, I am looking for at least one Carter 387-S carb for my C-15a CMP, I will eventually need 2 but one is a good start,

Thanks

Default Carb

Hey Harry

I went with a carter because that is what the manual says should be on the truck.

As a sidenote does anyone have experience rebuilding the waterpump?

Default Carb

Hey Bruce

I am not sure, I see that advertised on a few sites that sell the old stuff but the Manual says 387-S so...

I attached the picture from the manual not sure if you tell much from it.

It's a Carter W1 you're after, they were used on CMP Chevs and most of the civilian 216s in the late 1930's. There are a bunch of them out there with a 'climate control' (basically and automatic choke) that are post war commercial Chev but would do in a pinch.

I did see those pricy rebuilds on e-bay. I wonder if that's because there aren't any rebuild kits left?

Default Carb

So..... I managed to find a carb on Ebay out of Winterpeg, he wanted 11.99 USD for it so I bought it, a rebuild kit is around 100 bucks, I am hopimg that after a clanup and rebuild that I will have a decent working carb for a heck of a lot less than 500.

Now I need to make a puller to get the pulley off my water pump.

Thank you for all the info and the email (Harry).

Gary

I think you will find the pulley spot welded on to the water pump, be careful.
