Re: U2 Carb

Tom
Not sure but if you look at the Ebay button on the left of the screen, there is a Carb available for the 30 Durant I believe. You might check it out.

Re: U2 Carb

Mike .. if you are referring to 262484286270 Stromberg UV-1, that has been on eBay many times. Goodness knows what it fits. Info says 2 3/8 bolt centers and the 22A and 32A are 2 11/16 bolt centers. Couldn't hammer it on.

Now the 407 / 610 with W8, 4 cyl, uses Stromberg U1 1/8 and has 2 3/8 bolt centers. The W8 also used Tillotson SP-26A.

Re: U2 Carb

The Stromberg U2 was used on a few cars of our era, but they were as rare as our 6-14s. These carbs were made of pot metal and can fracture easily. They consist of three main parts(main lower body, upper main body and the float chamber cover). The float chamber covers are frequently broken at the supply line orifice from overtightening/vibration. I have spare parts to make a carb except for the float chamber cover. Maybe you can get that from Sid in NZ that is reproducing this part. Some of these carbs were stamped "22A" on the upper body right by the throat. Don't know if this means there was some internal part specifications just for our cars or just for the different connections or controls for the 6-14. Let me know if you are interested or will continue looking for an intact carb, because as I said you will need a new float cover to complete the one I have. Ross

Durant "617" 1930
