Mopar 2 bbl jets

House of Darts · 05-26-2016, 11:58 PM

Anyone have a source for bigger jets for the Carter 2BBL circa 1976-80? Thanks

Do not have a source, but have a few old carburetors you could drill out the jets.

I always thought the later mechanical carters used the same jets and rods as a themoquad but I could be wrong. I used the vacuum version and you can't buy jets for it. I bought a few cores... You will eventually need odd ball parts and pieces. I bought 3 cores and now I have 4 sets of jets that are different sizes. Start with a stock jet and increase sizes by a few .001 until you get to your target size.

Buy a set of jet drills and see what you have now, if you're running open headers you'll be going up at least .010" from stock.

If you are talking BBD 2 brl, use regular carter/edelbrock afb jets. They are direct replacements. Quadrajetparts.com has jets from .070" and up.

Use a 1/4 32 NEF tap to 'fix' the threads for the jets. If you don't have much room under the jet, use a bottoming tap. Or you can grind the end of the tap flat. Than you can use Holley jets. I have done this on several carbs and haven't had problems. If you have metering rods just leave then out. Good luck and happy motoring.
