I picked up a spare carb at a local yard today for my 82 d150. It supposedly came off the same year. The chrysler part no. is 287033, carb no. is 40056, and what I think is date code 2912. Anyone know what this was originally used on? It does not have the bowl vent solenoid.

None of those is a valid number. Chrysler P/Ns have 7 digits (newer ones, starting in the early 2000s, have 7 or 8 digits plus two letters). "40056" is not a carburetor number. 2912 isn't a meaningful number either.

If you see four numbers following the word "LIST", that'll be a Holley number. Maybe you'd do better to post some photos.

If the carb is truly the original 1982 carburetor, then it will be a Holley 1945 or a Holley 6145. Pictures will help greatly in identifying your carburetor.

Thanks for your response. I should have known to take pix. I left off the 4 in front of that part number. The original carb on the truck is 4287015. This one should be 4287033.

Let's see if these pix work.

Holley 1945 with the idle speed solenoid.

Thanks, Reed. It appears to be the same as the original, with some differences, such as bowl vent solenoid. I was hoping the part no. would tell what vehicle it came on, just for my own curiosity. So far I haven't found a link to Chrysler carb part numbers.

That's like the 1945 I pulled off an 85 d150. I'd imagine you have leanburn so this probably wouldn't apply. But my carb that had a bowl vent solenoid had a ported spark tube. The 1945 from the '85 didnt have a bowl vent solenoid and didn't have a ported spark tube either. So if you ever do hei you will have to get a new carb. I just got a 1920 because I swapped throttle bodies and found out afterwards it didn't have a ported spark tube for vac advance.

Ross, I appreciate the information. I'll keep that in mind if I ever do the HEI conversion.
