I was at this NG some months ago, this issue is part of that problem.
Problem; no ported vacuum for dist. Fix from this NG was to replace carb.
Now the question; Jobber wants to sell me a carb for a 1980 318 CID, Dodge
truck, instead of one for a 1980 318 CID Lebaron. He claims the carb is the
same except that there is no vacuum connections for the carbon canister,
there is zero emission equipment support on this carb (no egr connection
port). Everything else appears to be there. The jobber claims the carb is
heavy duty (my guess is because it was meant for a truck). The Lebaron does
not have the lean burn system, or an O2 sensor, and it passed the emissions
test with flying colours, without any of the emissions gear attached (EGR
and vacuum advance). So the question is, can I use this carb in this car,
or will the lack of carbon canister, egr,etc, cause me grief. Fuel
efficiency is the prime concern here. Emissions appear to be well within
spec with the current carb. Is fuel consumption going to be higher with the
truck version of the carb.
I should note that the current carb (not factory orginal) actually has a
SEALED, ported vacuum port, (I disassembled the carb and traced the internal
channel back to the base casting, and the well that should have been opened
to the venturi, (no hole punched in the aluminum casting), from the
factory).
The engine was rebuilt and the lean burn removed by a local Chyrsler dealer
about 30 Km ago, at that time they also replaced the carb.
