Default Re: 305A carburetor

I'm confused: You asked if there is an "alternative" to 1904. This means you may open to a non original carburetor. But you also said you can find 1904's but the throttle body is "different". What about it is different that it can't be used? I also don't know what trouble you are having? Do you have a 1904 now? and is it giving you trouble?

If you have a 1904 that you suspect needs rebuilt, Funky is RIGHT ON, contact Mike's carburetor, give them the 1904 number and either get a kit or send for rebuild. He answers any question by email. He is a really great guy. He probably has a video on the 1904 rebuild.

The 1904 is only a one barrel carb. Parts are getting rare. The glass front is hard to find. It may be an easy good idea to switch to a WW Stromberg which is a good two barrel carb used on/designed for 305 V6's. There's your alternative. There are others, some require some fab and doubtful advantage.
