  OUR 1950 MERC NEEDS A CARB REBUILD OR A NOS. SO FAR EVERYONE WE TALKED TO WANTS THE NUMBER ON THE METAL TAG. THERE IS NO METAL TAG!! IS THERE A NO. STAMPED INTO THE CARB? ALL WE SEE IS A DATE CODE ON TOP. IT IS A SIDE DRAFT 2 BL HOLLEY. CAN ANYONE POINT US TO A SUPPLIER THAT KNOWS WHAT WE NEED? WITHOUT METAL TAG?? THANKS r/c .

  Birdhaven Vintage Auto Supply @ 515-674-3949 can supply the kit you need to rebuild. All you need tell them is automatic or standard shift.

  At one time, perhaps still, you could have the side inlet Merc carb rebuilt by Holley for about $300. There are two versions, one for automatic, the other for stick shift. Those carbs have gotten very hard to find, so a factory rebuild may be the way to go.
