What exactly is the difference between the 49/50/51 carb? I have the 50 carb on the car now.. Can the bowl just warp by itself? how do I check it? Your right about being a bit*h about getting the thing put back together correctly. I tried it with one of the two cores that I have. How do I check it for wrapage? id like to try it on the core that I have apart. Is it some thing I can see with my eye? Thanks a bunch! for your help Randy

Just for kicks...I saw this in a junk yard in Durango Co. last year. Didn't know they put Holly's on what ever truck (bus) that is.... Randy

Cant see the 8:23 pic. Looks like that one is on a 6 cyl and has a govener on it (not useable for you).A 49 carb has an uprite throttle lever and pushes opposite to a 50 or 51. 50 has a throttle lever that points down (not up). 51 has same throttle lever as a 50 BUT late 51 has the choke mechinizm attached to the intake manifold (not up on the carb). Some early 51's used the 50 carb. So theres a late + early 51 version. I will still give you a complete core with the small thread hole you need in the bowl for the shipping cost. What I would do is call Gina at Daytona parts 1-386-427-7108 and ask her if she could sell you 2 sets of gaskets for Merc carb. Tell her I sent you. Im not sure what the shipping would be on the carb,but just send what ever is on the PO shipping label. I think its too high for a flat rate box will have to use a bigger box for carb.

That looks like an International Bus and they used a Holley concentric carburetor until 1958 on some engines. Several other manufacturers also used the concentric carburetor.

Ken I'm a bit confused... Why do I need two sets of gaskets?? Not looking for any freebees.. How much should I send for your core? How do I tell if the 2 cores that I have are any good first? Tks, Randy ask her if she could sell you 2 sets of gaskets for Merc carb. Tell her I sent you. Im not sure what the shipping would be on the carb,but just send what ever is on the PO shipping label. I think its too high for a flat rate box will have to use a bigger box for carb.

The 2 cores you have don't have the small inlet hole you need,all other parts are useable on them. Only order 1 set if you want. (don't loose any of the smaller gaskets or you will be in a bind) no other gaskets replace those. The postage charge will be on the top right hand corner of the box,just send me that chg.I told you that in the last email read it again. ken ct.

I don't plan on rebuilding the carb myself, after taking a core apart and having never rebuilt a carb before I have decided to send it out to have it done right? So I don't see why I would need the gaskets sets?? Can you rebuild it? or do I need to send it to Daytona with the core that I buy from you? Thanks for your patience, Randy
