lookin to get a new carb figure it cant hurt, i was just wondering would a Holley 1945 1V Carb single barrel which came of a '74 work with my '73 dart swinger?

It fits right on there, you will need a 'light' throttle return spring (not the heavy version for the 1920... I would rebuild it if OEM and replace the jet since 1974 carbs had a #58 jet and lots of lean surge, up the jet to a #59 or #60 ...

Good luck,

-D.Idiot

what would be a reasonable price for one of those carbs these days?

Depends. Is it a used one needing rebuilt? Is it a "remanufactured" one? (these are junk, don't buy one), is it a brand-new one?

remanufactored by holley

would it be better to rebuild mine , mine is just the original 1 bbl that came with the 225 motor

So-called "remanufactured" carburetors (also "factory rebuilt") are to be avoided if possible; their quality tends to be very low. See this thread for details. Sometimes you run out of options and have to take what you can get, but they're definitely well down the list of preferences.

What kind of condition is your original carburetor in? If it's all there but just dirty, then a clean-and-rebuild with a quality kit might be enough. If it's farther gone than that, a more thorough refurbishing along the lines described in here .

I have a 1bbl carb in my garage that I don't need; it came off of a '73 Swinger.
If you want it, I'll let it go cheap. Like, pay the shipping and you can have it. I live in Texas, near Houston.
