Hello all. Just purchase a 1978 Dodge/Frontier 19 footer with a (seemingly) strong 360 in it. Drove it home 45 miles and had it die 2.5 miles from home ($103 to tow it the last 4 minutes!!) Carb was overflowing gas out the vent and linkage holes in the top of the carb and flooding the motor out Anyway, I am guessing it has the original carb on it so I was wondering if anyone can tell me what carb it is so I can order a rebuild kit for it. Also, the last carbeurated vehicle I owned had a Motorcraft 2100 carb on it (AMC 304 engine) and I LOVED the carb....probably the EASIEST carb in the world to rebuild and tune, and they are dirt cheap to buy used. Does anyone know if the MC 2100/2150's will bolt onto an dodge 360 motor?

If it's a two-barrel carb, it's probably a Carter BBD ... also cheap and easy to rebuild.
If it's a four-barrel carb, it might be a Carter AFB, which is more or less what Edelbrock now makes and sells. I haven't rebuilt one yet but have heard they're also easy to rebuild.

OK..update...it's a Holley 2245. Bought a rebuild kit for $28.00. Found a few chunks of what appears to be rubber hose in the float needle/seat assembly. Carb is done, now onto replacing the bits of rubber fuel line I have and installing a second filter right before the carb. Next steps, driveshaft vibration, leak in the rear, leaking black water valve, valve cover gaskets, and fluid changes. Oh yeah, and brakes too....I think only the fronts work.

Yes it will fit with appropriate carb adapter. That is used for Off roading It's a great carb.

Here are pictures from the trailer that aired during the SB last night (and, yes, I am accepting condolences over the Steeler loss). See the railroad tracks? See the poor truck that I was supposed to cross in front of? See why I said "Oh h$ll NO, are you &*^%ing crazy" to the 2d unit guy?

Sorry, guess I should have stated that it is a 2BBL carb. Based on pics from Google I have determined it is an older Holley carb, but not sure which model. I hope there is an ID tag on it......

Check the fuel line and see if there is an inline filter back near the transmission, on the passenger side. I had to redo all the rubber lines on our 79 Dodge class c back in the summer, and that's where the factory filter was on ours. You'll be way ahead if you drop the tank,clean it out and replace the rubber line that goes from the tank to the hard line. The******they sell for gas today is what eats the rubber lines up quicker, and corrodes the rest of the fuel system. Good luck.
Where did everybody go?
I have spent the past week reading every post in this thread and making copious notes. This is a great group of people and I feel like I know everyone already. I'm a bit shy about posting, but finally worked up the gumption to join in order to plead for new ideas and more great stories.
Come back Dodge folks; come back!

You'll find that this time of the year is slow for us...at least for me, the weather prohibits doing anything on my rig this time of year.

Slow season, indeed. Even here in the Sunshine State it's been a miserable winter. All the more reason to look forward to Spring-- all those interesting RV projects that have been waiting for the thaw.
I recently purchased a 1977 B300 24' "Country Squire" it ain't real pretty but I am satisfied so far. There is a lot of little things to do and a lot already accomplished.
I have replaced a front disc brake rotor and both calipers, the left caliper holder was actually previously bolted on backwards, causing the caliper to hang loosely and crooked, therefore wearing out the rotor. I have taken the 2 barrel carb off and cleaned it thoroughly, it had a quarter of an inch of trash and rust in the bowl.
Exhaust manifold studs were a major problem, requiring removal of the left head and over sizing the hole to 3/8"
I have taken a few short rides and am satisfied with the power the 360 delivers. I am fearful to find out the true gas mileage as I was told by previous owner it was 11 to 13 pulling a Caravan behind. Reading thru the post I don't feel thati will get anything close. It has a Dana 70 with 410 gears.
Can't just stop here and not ask questions, What kind of oil pressure is normal and is it customary for the oil gauge to move slowly from start?
long enough, Thanks again to all who have shared so much knowledge
